My activism and art desires to highlight the misery of city pigeons. Not only their role as residents of our urban spaces, but also how governments apply unethical and unproductive measures to control their population. In my case, I also critique providers of spikes, nets and other technologies meant to repel them, by appropriating these in my practice. I directly observe the consequences of these measures in my drawings, prints and objects, which are part of my installation “All Pigeons go to Heaven”.
Lera Entmayr was born 2001 in Moscow and is a pigeon activist based in Linz. She feeds and rehabilitates pigeons, but also works on public awareness about pigeons: e.g. a theater piece in Linz Mariendom, Danube Cup, Postcard series and painting, drawing and print-making. Everything she does artistically and privately is for the betterment of city pigeons lives in Linz.
