Nothing really happens in this city: Revisiting (2023)
Digital images
On the day of the documentation, while walking from Golders Green towards Hampstead to see if I could find some colored papers around the town, I saw a large flock of pigeons circling around buildings. One of them was singing very loudly, as if trying to warn the others of something. The sound was sharp and piercing. Since I didn't have my video camera with me, I decided to chase the source of the sound with my digital camera (1).
For a while, I followed them, looking up and observing their flight. I had to snap out of that trance as a group of bus passengers got off and walked past me.
Then I realized that I had come near the block where I performed 'Digging and Filling'. I walked towards the torn blue signboard that had a partial 'K' and a 'P' (2).
I stepped back and looked up to take in the entire wall. There was a duplicate of that signboard but in better condition hanging on the higher part of the wall (3). ‘<<P’ was written on that signboard.
On my way back, I discovered another duplicate of that board hanging outside a telephone booth (4). There were three signboards in total, forming a set, but with one of them torn off.
