In our spring exhibition, we are showing bird nests photographed by Dresden-based photographer Karen Weinert at the Senckenberg Natural History Collection in Dresden. Her pictures show these strange, incredibly fragile and delicate dwellings that birds build to incubate their eggs and raise their young. Karen Weinert's pictures combine the perspectives of artistic and documentary photography, natural science, and museology on the collection, which dates mainly from the 19th century and contains an impressive inventory of around 1,000 bird nests from all over the world. Her black-and-white pictures, reminiscent of Blossfeldt and the Bechers, are being shown for the first time. The artist will sign copies of the book of the same name during the opening.
