The Swans installation by Marco Barotti at new Holland Island, St Petersburg, Russia The Swans are made from satellite dishes, obvious waste elements of our society representing the power of mainstream TV and mass media. Brought to life by sound, wind and water, these animals float peacefully in a pond, merging perfectly with the nature surrounding them. Speakers installed above the bases of the former satellite dishes serve as the animals’ heads. Eight individual audio channels are used to transport the sound through the swans, bringing them to life and remodelling the landscape.
