Des oiseaux explores the presence and symbolism of birds through Graciela Iturbide’s distinctive photographic vision. The images reflect a deep connection between nature, culture, and identity, capturing both intimate and ephemeral moments involving avian subjects. Iturbide’s use of black and white photography enhances the textures and emotions within each frame, creating a contemplative atmosphere.

The 96-page work, published by Atelier EXB in 2019, invites viewers to engage with a poetic perspective on birds as carriers of memory and meaning across diverse environments. The photographs emphasize contrasts and details that highlight the relationship between humans and the natural world, resonating with broader themes of coexistence and transformation.
