The series of works presented explores human relationships with urban birds to open up our complex entanglement with nature. They are: Varied, noisy a group of multiples; Feeders a six channel video installation; Listkeeper a single channel video; and Here we are, a three channel video installation. In exploring human/bird contact zones my research reflects on how birds are ultimately unknowable and it is only by describing our humanness in these exchanges that they become more immediate and present.
