Taryn Simon’s Birds of the West Indies documents the recurring presence of birds in the James Bond film franchise. By cataloging every avian species appearing in the films, Simon creates a visual taxonomy that explores the intersection of ornithology, cinematic history, and Cold War espionage. The work functions as both a rigorous archival project and a critical examination of how cultural artifacts are constructed and repurposed within global media.
