About
The Des Oiseaux series, in which each title has a different photographer, offers alternative visions and focuses on the variety of environment birds live in. This one is the poetic universe of Albarrn Cabrera. In their ‘chapter’ of Des Oiseaux, they present a dream-like journey through the land of birds. The Spanish photographers play with fantasy and reality, mixing them up in each image. This way, they create a world where they try different photographic techniques such as cyanotypes, gelatin prints, pigmented printing, etc. The result is a combination of different stories where the birds take up the spotlight like fantastical creatures inhabiting made-up worlds. They seem to have stopped time. They move from surface to surface, revealing abstract shapes, wonderful colours and a whole new interpretation of the life of a bird.
