In this project a wooden box is created having several IR sensors and digital cameras with flash attachments fixed inside. By these equipments the box activates cameras and strong flashes automatically when an object with a relatively warm temperature enters and moves in it. This box is initially installed at several locations in a city trying to trap and have a contact with birds in a somewhat nasty way, which are living along with humans but are more or less ignored by them.

This box is working as a hub or media connecting several different categories unusually. It can be on a boundary e.g. between people and animals, an artist and audience, an individual person and a society, the subject and the object, self and the other. The hundresds of images produced through such encounters are displayed at the gallery with the box itself working in the middle of them, which is still producing more images of visitors.
