Sapu Angin takes off as a modest attempt in framing city narrative through adu doro (pigeon race gambling) in Surabaya. Childhood memory, dilemmas of pigeon racing events which, to date, are still affirmed as a gambling practice for urban working class society. Sapu Angin endeavours to respond the displacement of urban peripheries in dealing with a battlefield of ownership using a pigeon’s body perspective By attaching a surveillance camera on the racing pigeon’s body flew back home to the pegupon (pigeon house). Through the camera, the change of suburban landscape of Surabaya is vividly visible, in which how Surabaya as a city is now beautifying itself under the shadow of infrastructural development in the name of “future ideal housing”.
