Descripción conceptual
Calls for Cages critically examines the practice of displaying animals in cages for human pleasure.
It places the calls and songs of primates within an imagined natural landscape, before stripping that sound of its environmental context and brutally reshaping it to fit with a new, human imposed reality.
In the closing section, we are finally presented with the original, unedited audio of Hong Kong’s zoological gardens, the city waking up, and the animal calls slowly diminishing to silence.
