From other birds and others of its kind (2023) — Rina Lipkind

From other birds and others of its kind (2023)

The installation evolves around the imprints of bird’s feet in concrete on the streets of Athens - in this specific urban context they seem an accurate analogy to the interaction of a displaced person with bureaucratic structures: a bird descending to the ground, driven by fatigue/hunger, plunges into concrete, where its trace stays.

The imprints were collected using latex, and recasted inside the wooden case, to be turned into stamps. The installation consists of the set of stamps with the case and an artist book - a visual essay on the topics of migration, documents, borders, transit, flight.
