Redimensioned and titled "Waiting for Birds IV", the temporary project "Waiting for Birds III" was installed on a permanent basis at Kundmanngasse 30 in Vienna’s third district on October 14, 2009.
Warten auf Vögel IV (Waiting for Birds IV) has also been primarily conceived as an intervention into the “natural environment and lebensraum of Vienna,” which is essentially an urban realm. In combination with the nesting boxes to be occupied by birds, the artificial character of the installation (red paint, geometrical architectural structure of the facility) suggests an ambivalent relationship between constructed matter and living nature, between logos and natura, which likewise reflects the (riven) relationship of our civilization to nature.
