‘Dawn Chorus’ by Marcus Coates

Contemporary artist Marcus Coates created an extraordinary and compelling piece of work showing humans mimicking bird song. He filmed ordinary people in domestic, social and work settings imitating the songs from a variety of birds and exhibited the performances as an installation piece at Fabrica, as part of the Brighton Festival 2015.
