EN FRI FUGL ER BEDRE EN TI I SNOR. Indian ink on paper, 2005. Drawing from Pun Birds. PUN BIRDS is an artist-book/drawing project. The book is published by Hurricane. In the books visual interpretations of proverbs and phrases there is displays a subtle poetic word game. If any, proverbs and phrases can be described as verbal stereotypes. It simply seems too banal for a contemporary artist to engage with. However, one will immediately see that the project is not a simple matter of illustrating clichés. In fact, PUN BIRDS is about the relation between word and image. How words eventually lose their significance when turned into standard metaphors - and how they are being brought back into life by drawings adding new or different meaning to worn out words. In spite of its playful nature, PUN BIRDS deals with heavy existential topics such as loss, death and love. PUN BIRDS is a mixture of words and images, different languages, phrases, proverbs and birds all over. Nothing is steady and meanings constantly change.
