»The question of how and with whom we want to live forms the basis of many societal concerns. This is inevitably followed by questions of participation - for both human and non-human actors. With a consistent visual language and a personally tinged voice-over, PIGEONS AND ARCHITECTURE opens up a cinematic reflection on participation and marginalisation. With her observation of pigeons, director Anne Linke outlines a precise but often overlooked urban space that manifests itself primarily in the corners and crevices of concrete. Pigeons undermine every architectural measure to restrict their movement, and thus these (mostly unloved) urban dwellers in the film become a model of subversion of architecture often criticised as 'inhuman'.«
