COSMOS/CHAOS

“As viewers, we do not label the bird calls we hear as ``Colombian'' or ``Swiss.'' All you need to know is that the bird calls were recorded in these countries. But what if birds had nationalities, or even knew national borders? The installation also shows images of dead birds colliding with windows and other transparent walls. From their point of view, they would surely understand barriers, walls, windows, and other structures created by humans to divide space. Paradoxically, what we are listening to is the free chirping of birds. Birds have their own concept of territory, independent of the concept of nation or nationality. But what we see are birds that have met their fate by colliding with other kinds of artificial and architectural boundaries. ”_Excerpt from this book
 For seven years, the eight-member artist collective "Center of Sound, Margin of Silence" (abbreviated as "COSMOS") has created a space and time to gather, interact, travel, learn, listen, and talk. We have been operating an experimental laboratory for the purpose of The collective is made up of artists from Colombia, Croatia and Switzerland: Esneider Gamboa Burbano, Tea Hatadi, Sylvia Jaimes, Almira Medaric, Bojan Mucko, Goran Škofić, Mirjam Wanner, Josip Zanki.
 This book, CHAOS, is a continuation of the collaboration, a reflection on how previous artistic practices can be adapted and developed in new political and social contexts. Invited authors Eliana Otta, Jenny Fonseca Tovar, and Rebekka Ray pose critical questions and describe new bridges and spaces to which the cosmos should move. .
