More and more birds are disappearing, taking their song with them. Just imagine, for a moment, that they disappeared from our lives completely. All those sounds that seem so familiar today, all those melodies that are an integral part of our daily lives, would be gone. The question then arises: how do we fill this silence? How can we represent what no longer exists with the means of our time?
This observation prompts us to question our relationship with images and representations that are no longer part of our visual and sound languages. It also challenges the human desire to fill a void when faced with absence. Humans are afraid of emptiness, of the unknown, and to compensate, they fill. Filling what they don’t know, among other things, with increasingly precise images that border on the bizarre. Does the problem lie in the accuracy of the representation, or conversely in the very idea of representing what no longer exists? Based on all these elements, I’ve decided to create an exhibition in which I attempt to show the representation of birds in a world where they have disappeared.
