In the Hall of the Mountain King (2016)

Pigeon sculpture installation made for the event Long Winter: Galleria Mall on Jan 30th 2016. Part of the long winter concert series in Toronto, this event was hosted in the Galleria Mall, a 1972-era shopping mall with distinct low-arched ceiling passages. Although the mall was still heavily used by local communities at the time of the event, the land was sold in 2015 to be redeveloped into mixed use condo towers and a park. The pigeon was made of plastic shopping bags which were given to us by current retail tenants of the mall. A simultaneous icon of shopping mall parking-lot ecology, urban adaptation, commerce and waste, the monumental plastic bag pigeon is on display in a tomb-like hall.
