The Pigeon’s Nest

A bronze pigeon, cast from the keys of a metropolis, narrates the key lifetime of a museum the place structure breathes, water turns into an inverted sky, and artwork rewrites mild.

Director’s Imaginative and prescient for ‘The Pigeon’s Nest’

“The Pigeon’s Nest” is a hypnotic, first-person chronicle that transcends the architectural documentary. We give voice to “Paloma,” a six-meter sculpture created by Juan Soriano from melted metropolis keys, who has stood guard over Mexico’s MARCO Museum for many years. By means of her metallic gaze, the museum—a monumental masterpiece by architect Ricardo Legorreta—transforms right into a dwelling character.

It is a sensory movie poem the place the structure is the protagonist: concrete cubes float on water, hidden skylights carve volumes with daylight, and courtyards breathe with serenity. Legorreta’s areas insurgent in opposition to the sterile “white dice,” creating an atmosphere the place artwork isn’t displayed however actually lives.

As a totally unbiased work, our movie is an intimate exploration of reminiscence, materials, and house. It’s a quiet riot, a love letter to the soul of a constructing, and a testomony to the tales that stones can inform when somebody is prepared to hear.
