Björn Alleman, Pigeon and Puddle, 2025

By looking down at the asphalt – a conscious act of seeing – a place is awakened through its own fleeting motions. Immersing yourself in this way creates a state akin to a visual breath, where everything asserts its existence.
The staple is allowed on the picture; it opens up a space and holds the memory together – the asphalt becomes softer.
