"Silent Steps Of Some Wild Instincts In The City" / "Dolphin" ------------------------------------------------------- “Kaybid’s animals that are silently wandering the streets may remind the viewer that the world does not only belong to the humans, or that the urban ecosystem is one that is quite alien to the organic realm.” ////////////////////////// “The cities come into being independently of the rhythms of nature. They treat nature and natural life as a mere commodity in it’s coming into being. Sand is a singularized item that is to be converted into glass; marble is something only if it is a column or a gravestone; a wooden staircase; an elevator or like window blinds… Hence nature can exist only as a utility or a decoration, as a side to the main constructed being that is the city. A tree in a rectangular pot on wheels exists on the rooftop only to be rolled around to provide us shade as we pick where we want to be.” ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// The project has been going on for over two years, and includes 400 handmade collages of 30 different animal species and the locations of each are marked on Google Maps. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// Article about the Silent Steps series: http://t.ly/VoAF
