Geene, Anne | Paperback / softback | 25-09-2023 | 9789083359694

Anne Geene and Arjan de Nooy combine visual tools from the science of birds with the specific characteristics of photography, thereby imparting a fresh look at both. Through their pseudoscientific approach, Geene and De Nooy explore the boundaries between the two disciplines, adding a layer that is usually absent in the representation and science of birds: humour. Their classifications form comical results through creative and associative thinking, and yet they use the scientific method to also create an artistic microcosm that seems far removed from its strictly ornithological counterpart. The authors depart from the “classic” aesthetic of bird representation. This is a new, expanded edition of the eponymous title published in 2016.
