Terri Weifenbach: On Birds (Des oiseaux)

Created in the space of her personal garden in Washington DC, Terri Weifenbach’s photographs reveal the secret world of nature populated by birds that nest in urban gardens. Oscillating between fantasy and reality, her images seem to be taken on the sly when birds race at top speed, dance, or settle, freeze, and gather in parliaments. Terri Weifenbach immerses us in the infinitely small, transporting us into a particularly lively and marvellous world.This publication is part of the Des oiseaux (On birds) collection celebrating, through the vision of different artists, their immense presence in a world where they are now vulnerable. Accompanying these photographs, the ornithologist Guilhem Lesaffre writes a special essay. For this title, he sheds light on the adaptation of birds in urban environments. Previous titles in this collection include: Pentti Sammallahti, Bernard Plossu, and Yoshinori Mizutani.
