Tallinna Kivituvid (Tallinns´stone pigeons)

produced for the group exhibition "Minu kallis paranoia" ("My dear paranoia")
by Estonian Media Artists Union
Vaal gallery, Tallinn
24.11. - 12.12.2009

There is a special feature in the cityscape of Tallinn: Stone barriers in the shape of pigeons.
I decided to count them and to create a map of Tallinn reduced to the positions of the pigeons. I made small models which will be placed all over the gallery space. The originally massive and immobile objects will again be in peoples´ way, but now less visible and therefore exposed and vulnerable.
