SCARECROW

SCARECROW is an outdoor installation project, looking at the meaning of a scarecrow that makes a claim over the land and its bounty. It protects human harvests on lands that birds also occupy and feed from. It is a statement of refusing to share a common estate and so it denies the value of the “other”.


SCARECROW installation presents the concept in two ways. Nakagawa, with semi-realistic base figures presents humans/birds as a life form. Tanuvasa, through abstract outfits, that were inspired by native plans and trees, presents cultural ideas/creations that people have developed through history. This contrast exposes an internal conflict, blurring our boundaries with humans, birds, nature and beyond.
