{"product_id":"des-oiseaux-pentti-sammallahti","title":"Des Oiseaux, Pentti Sammallahti","description":"\u003cp\u003e Traveller-photographer Pentti Sammallahti captures the myste­ries of nature on his travels and among these, the world of birds. Coastlines, swamps, parks, endless plains, forest clearings, snowy landscapes… In these isolated areas, birds slyly reveal their pres­ence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text holder\" id=\"contentText200\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contenu200 scroll-pane scroll-pane200 jspScrollable\" id=\"contentTextContenu200\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jspContainer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jspPane\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike visual tales, his B\u0026amp;W photographs attest to his extraordinary eye for detail, to light that sculpts spaces, to silent expanses in which a human or animal presence suddenly appears. The experience of the image is twofold: beyond its narrative virtuosity, his use of a two-colour process, with immaculate whites (as in the plumage of his swans or pink flamingos) confronted with deep blacks, creates a play of textures and powerfully renders a world in which birds play a unique role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book constitutes one of the two first titles of \u003cem\u003eDes oiseaux\u003c\/em\u003e(On birds) collection celebrating, through the vision of different artists, their immense presence in a world where they are now vulnerable. Accompanying these photographs, the ornithologist Guilhem Lesaffre showcases the relationship to the seasons that is a fundamental aspect of the life of birds. Where it exists, winter is a major constraint that birds must grapple with and that notably leads to strategies in their search for food and energy economy, or socialising. The author here associates the life of birds in winter with Pentti Sammallahti’s photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAtelier EXB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e120 pages, 66 B\u0026amp;W photographs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e205 x 260mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9782365112154\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atelier EXB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46576371827019,"sku":"DOPS01","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/DesOiseauxPenttiSammallahti08.png?v=1684513455","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/fr\/products\/des-oiseaux-pentti-sammallahti","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
