description: David Altmejd's powerful installations present a unique approach to sculpture, with nothing created, nothing rejected, and everything used. His new project, created for the 2007 Venice Biennial, is an aviary composed of bridges, trees, steel and glass mirrors and inhabited by stuffed birds that are half-men, half animal. The whole is richly ornamented with quartz crystals and glass shards and set within a glass display case. The work abounds with references to life, to death and to perpetuity.
