I spent the cold winter of 2004 at an artist residency in Stockholm. Around this time of the year, Stockholm becomes light at 10 am and is already becoming dark again by 2 pm. I noticed that these circumstances, which confused my biological clock, strongly influenced my daily life and my experiences. That's how the idea came of releasing over the city a large flock of pigeons with LED lights connected to their legs so that people walking below could observe a marvellous light dance in the sky.
This pictures, Pigeons Don't Fly At Night. #1 and #2, are part of my ongoing research to train pigeons to fly at night and was published on the cover of Cabinet Magazine New York, Issue 21, about Electricity.
