About The Work
This photograph by Palestinian artist Mona Hatoum was commissioned for Artists Space in 1997. Though less menacing or controversial than some of her work, it demonstrates her interest in disrupting the idea of the home and what it means. Here it is difficult to tell whether the birds are on the exterior, merely objects of observation, or on the interior, where they would become more of a threat.
