The Pigeons

Pigeonesque manifestations

An ongoing series in which pigeons in different cities have their say and present their manifestos and speeches on the subject of public space: An elegant Parisian pigeon talks about human restraint and uptightness, a likely Marxist pigeon in Istanbul philosophizes about fences and private property, and an activist German pigeon gives advice on how to rid our cities of cars.
