A Super8 film and photography project focussed on the act of moving through a city, using walking as both method and subject. My research was shaped by the tradition of the flâneur – the observer of urban life who wanders aimlessly, absorbing the details of the world – and the historical exclusion of women from this tradition. Building off Lauren Elkin’s book The Flâneuse, which reclaims this figure through the work of female artists, writers, and photographers across the 20th century, PICCIONI (Pigeons) explores what it means to observe and be observed in a public (and foreign) space, and how the act of filming in this space becomes inherently performative too. Releasing 2025.
