The installation consists of six mechanical toy birds painted in black and placed on pedestals, and small tempera on cardboard painting landscapes of the former industrial areas of St. Petersburg hanging on the walls next to the birds. The birds automatically begin to sing in response to the movement or handclapping of spectators.
