Watch The Birdie
Some Pigeons are More Equal than Others: Julian Charriere and Julius von Bismarck
I’ve watched this project attract a lot of attention over the last couple of weeks; both positive and negative.
More than anything I see it as an interesting exercise in changing perceptions.
Julius von Bismarck - Some Pigeons are More Equal than Others (2012)
Artist’s explanation:
“This week-long project is about dying 35 pigeons in the city of Copenhagen. A machine was built for this purpose, which works as a bird trap with a conveyor belt mechanism. Once inside the machine the pigeon is automatically airbrushed with various colors.”
