in this duo installation, a flock of handmade pigeons quietly took over Gallery 115. each bird, built from its own odd mix of materials and methods, claimed the floor or perched on rope‑lines strung across the room, as if the gallery had momentarily slipped into another ecosystem. a couple “utility poles” were spread across the room, releasing a blend of live visitor voices recorded from a hanging microphone. the space became a small urban fiction: part alleyway, part stage, part listening device. the work unfolded as an invitation to notice how we inhabit public space, how we share it, and how play can unsettle the boundaries between the built world and the imagined one.
