Ornithology - Anne Geene & Arjan de Nooy
Ornithology is the scientific study of birds, including their physiology, classification, ecology and behavior. Because of their visibility and colorful appearance, birds are a popular subject for both science and the visual arts - photography in particular. With their pseudo-scientific approach, hunter-collectors Geene & De Nooy challenge the boundaries between these disciplines. Their classification of bird photos is the humorous result of creative, associative thinking, with each section of Ornithologie opening up new perspectives on birds.
Geene & De Nooy are a rarity in the world of bird photography, which is dominated by proponents of the "classical" aesthetic. Many of the birds they have photographed are dead, others are representations, and sometimes only their building materials or droppings appear. Ornithology can be seen as both a photographer's study of birds and an ornithologist's excursion into photography. Charles Darwin, Harper Lee, Humphrey Bogart, Charlie Parker and Woody Woodpecker, among others, highly recommend this book.
