The exhibition also features Symphony for Absent Wildlife a brand new multi-media and multi-sensory installation commissioned by the University of Leicester. This work involves a wind-orchestra of 20 musicians ‘Spirits’ dressed in a tailcoat and a sculpted mask of an endangered woodland creature, fashioned from reclaimed felt blankets.

Each masked musician holds a hand-carved wooden bird whistle, to play a symphony of birdsong, which builds up to intensify the feeling of stepping into a fairy tale world, inhabited by fictional creatures. The performance ends abruptly plunging the performers into silent darkness.
