Christian Jankowski Borned in 1968 in Deutschland. "Mein Leben als Taube" (1996). In 1996, in a gallery in Anvers, a magician turned Jankowski into a pigeon. Literally "volatilised", the artist exhibited his avian shenanigans for 15 days. The video recording and the posters for My Life as a Pigeon "testify to" this transformation.
