What relationships and forms of exchange are artists working with today? Nestling Thoughts is the first iteration of an open-ended publishing project that explores this question under the title “Working Together”, considering collaboration, proximity, and contact within creative practice. It aims to embrace new trains of thought that emerge during research and making processes.
This publication departs from a film research project by Sorawit Songsataya that focuses on the relationship between the kōtuku (also known as the white heron, eastern great egret นกยางโทนใหญ่, or Ardea alba modesta) and the Waitangiroto Nature Reserve on the West Coast of Te Waipounamu. It exists within a larger body of work by the artist which explores gravity, meteorology, and flight as forces that bind the human and more-than-human within a time of ecological crisis. Developed in the two years following initial periods of filming at the nesting site at Waitangiroto, Nestling Thoughts extends an atmosphere of enquiry around this process.
Featuring contributions by Bridget Reweti, Louie Zalk-Neale, Nik, Sophie Davis, Sorawit Songsataya and Vera Mey
