Joe writes: “Originally columbaria were structures with recessed nooks built by the Romans to house domestic pigeons. As the Roman population grew and funerary practices changed to mass storage of cremated remains rather than personal crypts they needed a new type of structure to hold the urns. Columbaria shifted linguistically to describe these new public vaults of ashes. The wealthy would still have personal tombs, but the poor would be interned in these structures.

This history is the basis of the installation Columbarium. Rather than storing human ashes, Columbarium is a vault of cardboard bird houses that resemble an archetypal favela. The installation has just enough room for one or two people to enter at a time and can be locked from the inside. Once inside the viewers hear the sounds of birds and feel a slight breeze rustling the leaves on the floor. In this way Columbarium is a space of contemplation that transcends the linguistic and architectural history in which it is rooted.

The eventual plan for the piece is to reassemble it in a place in which birds can actually make it a nesting site. It would be necessary to exclude people from ever being able to enter the piece once that phase of the work is complete, as to do otherwise might constitute a violation of the Migratory Bird Act. Once completed, it could also become technically illegal to remove thanks to that piece of legislature.”
