Urban Actors – Between Stone and Wing

Architecture and pigeons shape daily life, often unnoticed. In this series, they meet: the solid and the fleeting. The images reveal their silent urban relationship, where constructed and accidental, order and chaos merge and briefly become one.

About Artist

Frédéric Muller

I was born in Bern in 1983 and have been working as an architect for many years, in architectural offices in Zurich and Bern, a profession that confronts me daily with questions of space, structure, materiality, and light. Photography has accompanied me from early on, long before I became an architect. During my architecture studies, I discovered architectural photography as a medium that unites my two passions. Through the lens, I rediscover spaces, their proportions, their emptiness, their interplay with light, and their relationship to people. In my work as both an architect and a photographer, I am interested in how space is experienced, how people interact with it, and how they respond to it, not only in what architecture looks like. Architecture and photography are, for me, two ways of exploring the same questions: How does atmosphere arise? How does light shape our perception? And where does the quiet poetry of the built environment lie?
