Lia Darjes – Plates I-XXXI
Squirrels, tits, slugs, field mice, ants, sparrows: these are some of the small animals that become the protagonists of Lia Darjes’ mysterious tale. Far from frightening, they captivate and charm with their furtive spirit.
In a style reminiscent of the Dutch masters who inspire her, Lia Darjes captures the secret life of these timid creatures. Placing the leftovers of a meal in her or her friend’s garden, she entrusts the ensuing spectacle to her camera, which she leaves outside for hours or days at a time, its shots triggered by movement. This encounter between staged and chance creates a documentary study of these fellow beings with whom we live side by side, and yet so separately from.
Plates I-XXXIÂ is a silent, colourful series that lifts the veil to reveal that unexpected visitors and magical parallel worlds are closer than we think.
64 pages, 26 x 20.5 cm, hardcover, Chose Commune (Paris).
