Nephelokokkygia (Cloud Cuckoo Land)

Under the title “Nephelokokkygia” (or “Cloud Cuckoo Land”), con­cep­tual artist Effrosyni Kontogeorgou popu­lated the exhi­bition space of Galerie Mitte in Bremen with 20 pigeons. Her site-spe­cif­ic in­stal­la­tion allowed exhi­bi­tion visi­tors to ob­serve the resi­dent pigeons from be­hind the scenes.

For the exhi­bi­tion, we created an instal­lation con­sis­ting of indi­vid­ual modules in the style of an amphi­theatre. The instal­lation, which was largely adapted to the needs of the pigeons, gave visi­tors some space under the steps to move around and observe. Although this resulted in sig­nifi­cant limi­ta­tions com­pared to a con­ven­tional gallery visit, it pro­vid­ed com­plete­ly new and in­ti­mate in­sights into the daily activ­ities of the pigeons.

Does a cloud fit in a suit­case? What noises does a kitchen make? What is a scent organ? Where do you sleep during a polar ex­pedi­tion? What is it that glows in the under­ground of Frank­furt? Where is the division be­tween gaps and holes? And what hap­pens when 20 pigeons move into a gal­lery?
