Text by Guilhem Lesaffre
The photographer invites us to rediscover the birds of the city from the windows of his Parisian apartment while France was in lockdown in 2020. He built a particular device combining binoculars and a camera that takes us back to the origins of the medium: the resulting round images evoke nineteenth-century photography and the observation of nature through an optical instrument.
