Description: In this image, I am wearing an Antipode costume and digging a hole to install an artificial falcon nest in Bayan Sum (a location around 100 km south of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia). This area contains many artificial falcon nests devised to help the species to breed. My Antipode costume’s structure and design emulates both King Kong and the Tyrannosaurus Rex. This photograph was taken during the production of the film “My very best, Smuggler” in 2014. From Mongolia I then went with my son to Chile, the antipode of Bayun Sum, in order to chase and capture a falcon in Patagonia.
