Review: http://universes-in-universe.org
Quote out of review: "In a video performance "Birdprayer", Arya Panjalu and Sara Nuytemans show four performers whose heads uphold miniatures of four different religious temples that are recognized by the state. They walked around a bird market and went to the greenery and pasture of the rice paddies. The sensitive issue of the freedom to practice one's religion is addressed in the work in a subtle approach. It points out the individual spiritual freedom behind the confine of religious institutions that tend to monopolize our understanding of faith."
