Ortiz destroyed pianos throughout the 1960s (he flayed, stabbed, smashed and otherwise deconstructed many other household objects, too, but he seems most remembered for those pianos). Henny Penny is scored by Ortiz’s most famous concert, at the Destruction in Art Symposium in London in 1966. The piano’s death rattle is synced to grainy, black and white footage shot in a Coney Island chicken slaughterhouse in 1958. Married to a cacophonous symphony of death, suddenly the loss of the piano doesn’t seem all that bad. Henny Penny mirrors shots from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre—a hellish flurry of feathers in front of a vertiginous camera— but it’s the nightmare-Deleuzian final freeze-frame that will make you want to puke.
