#4 animal animates the space.

Artist Karen Knorr made this work titled The Ramp in Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye. Parrots, due to their ability to mimic human speech, often figure in literature as noisy potential revealers of secrets. In this mute photograph, the exotic bird is a visitor, the serene house undisturbed. Yet the potential of that bird disrupts the space; at any moment Loulou will take off from her perch, possibly even producing a dropping. RUT BLEES LUXEMBURG
