The nocturnal sound recording of the nightingale fills the space of the installation. Unlike in the romantic interpretation, its song is more of a signal-like, penetrating call. The video shows the clearing and grubbing up that reveals the remains of the tent settlement. A series of photos shows a homeless man’s makeshift cat feeding places. They appear very sculptural and have a kinship with the remains of the tents in the film.

Two further audios can be heard through headphones, which protect the listener from the loud, expansive nightingale sound. Two neighbours of the wasteland talk about the nightingale: Elke describes the nightingale’s way of life and its adaptation to the urban space. Calum talks about a Scottish bird researcher friend of his who first recorded rare bird species and then later exclusively made “recordings of nothing” in the Scottish Highlands in order to assemble these recordings into a large tape of silence.
