Interstate commuters pass through the Port Authority Bus Terminal every day, simultaneously playing the roles of both spectator and participant in this space. This collection looks at an unorthodox piece of the puzzle— the wandering pigeons of Port Authority, and analyzes their bizarre presence as documented through social media. In their daily travels, human commuters become part of the traffic and experience a shared passage of time with the birds that they watch. The pigeons’ identities and movement patterns are re- contextualized, leaving it up to the viewer’s eye to see them as either elements of or invaders of this landscape.

Great philosophers and surrealist thinkers have always challenged consciousness and composition through the practices of prose and thought, form and aesthetic. Working within the discipline of graphic design, I co-opted the agenda of André Breton’s 1920’s Surrealist manifesto to explore these ideas through unusual juxtapositions.

For this thesis I have curated and juxtaposed various surrealist works with the composite experimentations I conducted, as well as with a pictographic typeface I created. Through these outcomes, I aim to deconstruct these polarities and perhaps find something interesting – perhaps even humorous, in the grey areas between them.
