ALIEN INVADERS:
Nests Outdoors


The work includes photographs of the 9 nest-sculptures put together of marine plastic detritus and staged outdoors in the natural habitat of the Harakka Island.

Birds adapt to their urban environment and tend to appropriate human-made materials for their own purposes.

This project sets out to revisit the story of avian evolution by elaborating on the imaginary potential of new hybrid bird species, genetically programmed to thrive on plastic detritus.
