02/04-The Murder of Crows

Occupying the central hall of Museum für Gegenwart at Hamburger Bahnhof, Canadian artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller's sound installation, The Murder of Crows turns the former railway station hall into a space of emotions and poetics. With 98 speakers surrounding the audience in all directions and a gramophone at the very centre, a four-part story is told through powerful narratives, audio effects and songs. For more information please visit www.cardiffmiller.com.

With the hall's perfect spatial qualities, beautiful natural light and magnificent sound engineering, The Murder of Crows creates remarkable imaginary in my mind continuously for 30 minutes. It is pure delight that we got the chance to drop-by Hamburger Bahnhof at our last day of Berlin.
