Thomas Dambo - Way Of The Bird King
Way of the Bird King: Fairytale and Exhibition by Thomas Dambo brings together storytelling and large-scale environmental art, inspired by Dambo’s 2023 U.S. road trip where he installed ten monumental troll sculptures crafted from locally sourced recycled wood. Known as Way of the Bird King, the journey now lives on through this fairytale, featuring each of the trolls encountered along the way.
At the heart of the story is Oscar, a once-ordinary young wooden troll who is unexpectedly pulled into a sweeping adventure. Traveling through forests, mountains, endless plains, and treacherous waters, Oscar meets a cast of unforgettable characters—including a gentle old orca swimming through dark waters and a human child carrying a birdhouse staff. As chaos and destiny intertwine, his journey raises a central question: will he find the legendary Bird King, or is another fate waiting for him?
Blending folklore, environmental themes, and a coming-of-age narrative, Way of the Bird King invites readers into a world shaped by imagination, sustainability, and the search for purpose.
