It is said that that if one dreams of nightingales one will be happy; dreams of a nightingale singing signifies a happy marriage. If an unmarried woman dreams of a nightingale she will cry for love and anyone away from home will shortly be reunited with a loved one. These different but equally positive meanings inspired the artist to produce this sound installation piece. In over 100 sets of headphones, participants can hear birds singing and other natural sounds. Using only our ears, the artist invites us into his own jungle to find the nightingale that brings joy to us.
