To produce this artwork, Chourouk Hriech used birds drawn by the ornithologist John James Audubon between 1827 and 1839 in The Birds of America. She positions theses coloured animals in front of a vertical, brutalist and modernist architecture, to establish a temporal contrast between the two objects. Hence, the artist emphasizes on the appropriation of knowledge and notably of these birds' images, by questioning the loss of meaning that our modern societies generate to the naturalist's original motives.
