Warning Birds, 2002

Self-adhesive stickers on window

Countless stickers in the form of the black silhouettes of birds – like those familiar from the facades of public buildings – are installed on the large windows. They feature the shadow-like contours of buzzards and are intended to protect real birds by scaring them off, thus preventing them from flying into panes of clear glass.
