Anyone who knows a little can use a recording of bird songs to determine which landscape it was created in: on the North or Baltic Sea coast, the Mecklenburg Lake District or in the Bavarian Forest. As visitors to the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt am Main, birdwatchers are currently being challenged quite a lot. A sound installation between display cases with stuffed birds brings together calls and songs from forest-dwelling birds from all over the world, including the call of the single-lobed kotinga, the loudest bird in the world. “Forests” is the name of the exhibition for which the installation was created, and the plural is decisive here: three museums have come together to paint a complex, diverse picture of the world’s forests: with artistic, scientific and mythological approaches.
