popo (slowly keep going project)

popo is the experimental project that highlights overlooked presences and unacknowledged deaths in urban spaces.

I regularly observe the carcasses of dead pigeons on the streets of New York City, outlining the changing shape of the body with white chalk to quietly leave a trace on the site. Even after the body has disappeared, the outline remains in the urban landscape, continuing to make the moment of death subtly but unmistakably visible. This work attempts to confront the anonymous and unrecorded deaths that occur in the city in a non-invasive and poetic manner.
