“A previous partner once told me I reminded her of a pigeon because I walk funny and eat garbage. Since then, pigeons have found their way onto my paper and into my thoughts.”
‘Homing’ is an experimental data collection project with community at the core of its design ethos. Drawing inspiration from the pigeon’s ability to return to home locations, ‘Homing’ is centred around performative interviews on homes, houses, and feelings of (un)belonging.
‘Homing’ follows a four-step process.
The guest sits down facing the artist. There is a sheet of paper between both people.The interview begins.Following the interview, the guest is asked to point on the paper.The artist draws a pigeon where their finger is.
One pigeon drawn = one person interviewed.
