_Homecoming

_{The photograph depicts the great auk Iceland bought back in 1971 at an auction in London. On the flight
home, it was given its own seat and was greeted with a red carpet and a tour around the country when it
arrived. The stuffed great auk was allowed to return home after a nationwide fundraising campaign in which
private individuals donated their savings to make up for a sense of historical guilt, and reclaim what they saw
as part of their own identity. The work takes a critical look at how we as humans have the ability to turn lives
into artefacts, and shows how the great auk was not considered valuable until it was gone.}
