Object, birdsnest, acrylic glass box, pedestal, colored pencil
14 X 14 X 6.5 cm, pedestal 130 cm,  2012

Last spring I could watch two blue-tits bringing up their biddies in a birdshome that I fixed close to one of my windows. What an amazing efford! When I later removed the nest, I was surprised, that it was all made of organic material, mainly moss – right in the center of Berlin -. The second sensation was its incredible softness.
Preserving and presenting it in a sealed acrylic glass display, excludes us forever from the tactile sensation, that is now humbly replaced by the description on the pedestal – so soft and cosy -. A work about preservation and representation taking away the main quality of the preserved and presented object and a memorial for the tiny birds and their devotion to life. – I hope they give me the honour again next spring –
