Extinct Paleognath Birds. 1000 AD/2026 AD
This project emerged as an imaginary museum of paleognathous birds, installed inside the adobe dovecotes in Tierra de Campos, Palencia. The ruined dovecotes were photographed; then their interiors were imagined occupied by these large flightless birds, which disappeared in historical times.
