Gala Chicken and Gala Coop. 2004-2011
Embellished with brightly coloured natural feathers attached like hair extensions, forty chickens move about inside a distinctively shaped hen house. A metaphor of the social order and the norms it imposes, Laura Lima’s “gala chicken” take their inspiration from the carnival and its role reversals and the overall organisation of society. In a work created several times since 2004, the artist has observed numerous changes in the chickens’ behaviour: timid animals become exuberant, for example, and some actually change gender. Gala Chickens, then, is the living proof that anything can happen.
