Knut Andersen finds a solution for pigeons. Knut Andersen has a double-­barrelled shotgun and he shoots pigeons. He lives on the main square in Oslo, far to the north and he is old. One day he kills 2001 pigeons; he paints 1900 pigeons yellow, 100 in other colors of the rainbow and just one white. The white pigeon is supposed to be the king. Knut Andersen stretches a wire across the central square in Oslo a hundred meters from the ground and hangs the dead stuffed painted pigeons from it, saying: It’s an installation for the new millennium. There are a lot of feathers around Knut Andersen. He is like something from a dream, soft and elusive.

Knut Andersen has a plastic shopping bag like all homeless people. All his property is in his bag. He fills his bag with the remaining dead pigeons. I’ll make pie from my mother’s recipe, he says. Maybe Knut Andersen is Christian’s brother, the one who writes fairy tales?
