Background information
'Des Oiseaux' by Leila JEFFREYS is another title in this series of photo books that celebrates, through the vision of various artists, their immense presence in a world where they are vulnerable today. Accompanying these photographs, the ornithologist Guilhem Lesaffre shows the relationship with the seasons, which is a fundamental aspect of the life of birds.Content
The poetic universe of Spanish photographers duo ALBARRÀN CABRERA is presented here through a dreamscape journey in the land of birds. Between reality and illusion, their photographs questions our relationship to the tangible world and vibrate gently through a wide palette and different photographic techniques: platinum and palladium prints, cyanotypes, gelatin prints, and pigmented printing… Each photograph is like a story that seems to have been paused. The birds seem to be straight out of fantastical fairy tales; they merge into space, are revealed on reflective surfaces, and slip into the undergrowth whereas sometimes their physical presence is underlined by a tight framing. The birds are revealed through abstracting shapes sometimes simple dots and shadows. ALBARRÀN CABRERA leave the interpretation of their images to the memory of the viewer and let our imagination fly.
