Disappeared birds, 2015
The Museum of the Château de Dourdan gave me an assignment to interpret and highlight their collections: the ones exhibited in the rooms of the museum, and the ones of naturalized birds hidden for years in the reserves.
As they are staged and photographed in situ, the stuffed animals disappear to be confused with the decor of the museum. Beyond the playful aspect of the exhibition, the images mix several essential themes that are dear to the artist: still-life, representation of absence, second and third dimensions, living and dying that coexist in the tradition of Vanitas.
