Pigeon Hold Dino Soar
Artist: Mark Mollé
April 29, 2025

On a concrete plinth in Manhattan’s most self-conscious experiment in futurity, a pigeon—absurdly detailed, monumentally scaled—looms over 10th Avenue. It does not coo. It does not fly. It waits. This is Dinosaur (2024) by Iván Argote, the fourth High Line Plinth commission, and perhaps the first to laugh—tenderly, politically—at the very idea of greatness.

In the foreground of this living monument, Mark Mollé and Stephan Cilliers @stephancill stretch their arms in a pose not unlike flight, or protest, or comedy. They are not mocking the sculpture but communing with it, activating it. Their photograph, titled Pigeon Hold Dino Soar, captures a paradox: the ordinary bird elevated, the human humbled, the absurd made sacred.
