Nestling Nestling presents the collection of birds’ nests on the wall like a page of music, each nest a note on a stave of electrical wiring. Aluminium "sound-nests" cradle speakers. A soft musical conversation between nests, via multiple sound channels, becomes agitated when the viewer comes close.
