The 'Super Kingdom' birdhouse exhibit is sort of an ultra high-density condo community for the aviary set. Duo Bruce Gilchrest and Jo Jelson of London Fieldworks created this commissioned work as a comment on the overpopulated suburban area that surrounds the King's Wood Forest in England.
The functional display was created after researching bird hibernation patterns and will also be the subject of a video piece the pair is producing over the winter. I think the home with the slot-shaped holes could actually be a butterfly apartment.
