Pigeon: a flying rat, a urban creature with a reputation as "a carrier of diseases". How do we recover honor for that which is most acceptably scorned? Through narrative storytelling and manipulated footage of pigeons in their everyday life, Peristerophobia is an experimental video that weaves together ideas of struggle, survival, alienation, visibility, resilience and the importance of reclaiming our own lives through imagination and self-identity.
