Nina Katchadourian: Twitchers and Cheaters

Originally exhibited in 2008 at the Fields Sculpture Park, Twitchers and Cheaters is a multichannel video installation highlighting the common habits of bird watchers (sometimes nicknamed “twitchers”) and gently pokes fun at our tendency to collect, identify, and categorize. The project is Nina Katchadourian’s take on a “life list”—a list prized by most birders that relies on the honor system to track sightings over time.
