The images of photographer Christine Lefebvre seem more anchored to the body than to language. They resemble magnetic fields that converge forces, affecting their meanings and directions. The artist unfolds them between the pages of a book she has constructed like a poem, its white spaces exposing them to the opening of meaning. The photographs are visions torn from the flow of time. During her walks, far from the city and people, what the photographer feels rise like sap upon contact with a tree, a cliff, or a glacier is captured freehand, in a few seconds and in impulsive fragments.
The choice of birds as the protagonist of his chronicles comes from the memory of reading a famous Persian mystical tale written in the 11th century. The Conference of the Birds tells the epic story of a group of lost birds in search of truth. The photographs present immemorial landscapes punctuated by the beating of birds' wings, contrasting with the solid reliefs of petrified landscapes.
It is this dream of stone that Baudelaire evoked, witnessing a revolution where the earth, the primary source of all creation, lost its aura and froze into an object. Lefebvre's work is an elegy, but also composes an ode to a nature restoring links with cycles, with the rhythm of the seasons. [excerpts] Marguerite Pilven This captivating photography book by Christine Lefebvre transports us into a world of beauty, sadness and nostalgia. The striking images captured in this book tell the story of nature, life and death, while celebrating the fragile beauty of our world.
Lefebvre's photographs are poetic in their composition, light, and texture. Each image is a story in itself, telling a unique tale of nature transforming and of flora and fauna disappearing. The color nuances and textures are magnificent, offering a true visual treat. In short, Chronicle of the Lost Bird is a sensitive and captivating photography book. It is a true tribute to nature and life.
