Lady Bird Paris, France
Artist Statement
L. Bird is an independent photographer and film maker based in Paris [France]. Her work is all about storytelling, whatever it concerns [whether photography, series or short-movies].
Her work’s aesthetic is mainly inspired by street and documentary photography, but in such manner as that it always turns her images into contemporary tales…
She recently started a new serie based on diptychs melting street photographies to create pictured fictions. She also explored this new creative mechanism in a short movie ‘subWays’, meant to be a bigger project, which plays with videos and photographies.
As a writer and journalist she also pays extreme attention to the quotes of her works adding them a poetic dimension to the emotion they create.
There’s a crack in everything, that’s how our light gets in.
