The event is co-hosted by the Taiwan Cultural and Creative Development Foundation, Taiwan Cultural and Creative Development Co., Ltd., Daan Forest Park Friends Foundation, and 'Nature Fun,' with Yuan-Liou Publishing Co. as a co-organizer.
Huang Yi-Feng, a four-time Golden Tripod Award winner, stated that in the eyes of most people, bird nests might just be a pile of dry branches, mud, and various natural materials. However, from an aesthetic perspective, these bird nests are among the most exquisite architectural arts in the world, full of the birds' survival wisdom in the concrete jungle.
Huang Yi-Feng noted that upon closer observation, one will find that birds' nesting methods are constantly changing and evolving. Some bird nests are mixed with plastic strings or straw covers, some are woven with plastic bags, and some even use clothes hangers as foundations. Birds choose to use man-made objects to build their nests not because they can't find natural materials, but because they utilize what's available locally.
Huang Yi-Feng expressed that this exhibition reorganizes and combines bird nests from an aesthetic and design perspective, presenting their exquisite lines and structures. He aims 'to let people see that each bird's nest is proof of birds adapting to the environment and coexisting with humans, and each display cabinet reminds us that nature is not far away; it is right here in the city where we walk every day.'
The exhibition features 35 bird's nest artworks, all collected after the bird breeding season. The oldest yellow oriole nest was collected in 1998. Among them, the most precious is a bird's nest made with clothes hangers by a conserved Taiwan Blue Magpie, collected from Donghu Junior High School in Taipei City. This exhibition, apart from the bird nests, does not use any bird specimens.
The site also displays various bird nesting areas, including traffic lights, pedestrian crossing lights, dustpans, mops, and pipes, subverting people's general perception of bird nests.
