Anything waanders didn’t know about kingfishers wasn’t worth knowing. I’m sure he was well aware no bird, nor specifically, a kingfisher would ever transcend the stick/twig into a perch with its presence. These structures would probably only have lasted a few days, maybe weeks, so there is something really futile about it.
Also, the locations selected were in areas that kingfishers were not usually seen.
When you look into Waanders health conditions at the time of the work, the therepeutic uses of photography, and his sheer love for kingfishers, the project starts to make perfect sense.

I am interested in making work about similar ideas and really appreciate finding more context for future projects.

Another great article from dailyserving.com
