About this artwork
Franco Perrotti's pigeon is an allegory, both a point of connection between consumer civilization and the natural environment and a mediocre scavenger of other people's debris, it represents the renunciation of aiming beyond in exchange for a pre-cooked tranquility. It thus becomes an enormous urban fetish, a construct of crossed metal wire bristling with nails and spikes, the same ones used to keep it away from roofs and cornices. A mocking and…
paradoxical deterrent of humans.
