About the first caravan performance in 2011 and the concepts

Sonja herds elephants along Pavilion Gardens, Brighton   

   Sonja herds elephants across an Italian plaza that celebrates the fall of fascism     

During the hour long walk, only about 6 or 7 people approached me and so for most it functioned as a a light-hearted intervention, as I moved each elephant bearing Dutch, French, Italian, English text was moved in turn to the head of the passing caravan.

At one point some gulls tried to take a few of the elephants and people rescued them for me. Gestures such as this are demonstrations of our common humanity: caring about the other, even the origami newspaper elephant.
