This photograph is representative of a symbolic endeavor in which the artist is seen wearing am Antipode costume of his design and planting an artificial falcon’s nest in the desert of Bayan Sum as an attempt to investigate issues in the rapidly changing society and economic development in Mongolia. This area contains many artificial falcon nests devised for breeding purposes.
