Produktbeschreibung
Rinko Kawauchi focuses on swallows in the city of Chiba during the spring season and, in particular, on the tiny nests that the birds build in window openings or on the underside of roof overhangs. The publication is part of a collection that, through the vision of different artists, celebrates the immense presence of birds in a world where they are now often vulnerable. An essay by ornithologist Guilhem Lesaffre accompanies the images. Lesaffre writes about the swallows’ way of life, their history, their spring migration from south to north over thousands of kilometres, the season of birth, and their particular relationship with humans that has led them become threatened today.
