Still a bird
ARTIST/GROUP: Rebecca Lenaerts
COUNTRY: BELGIUM
CITY OF ORIGIN: Brussels
Birdwoman is born, lives, moves and dances until she disappears again into another world. We are silent witnesses of an organism in constant transformation between object-animal-human. The performance invites us to expand our vision and to travel in a world that reminds us that the human body, nature and the dream world are inseparable.

In 2015 Rebecca Lenaerts began to collect bird feathers found on the ground. Collecting feathers turned into a ritual: first the washing, then drying and treating with cedar, then the storage. With painstaking dedication, she starts sewing them one by one on a blanket creating a feather cloak. After nine months Birdwoman was born. In mythology she is the guardian between the human and the animal world.

The long-lasting "doing" of collecting and sewing feathers evolved into an inner search for gentleness and humility. The feather cloak becomes a tool for various artistic output in different contexts. Shifted from the black box towards a long-durational in public space, this performance explores the tension between the wild in the urban environment, between appearing and disappearing, between physical and imaginative realm.
