“Art can only be erotic” said Picasso. And if more than for drawing and painting it was true for photography?
Isn’t the photographer above all the one showing us reality, that unveils it, turning the viewer into a voyeur? All the more so when the pictures, like JIs Birdy’s, show a part of the world that remains taboo: nudity. It’s a world of women pinned to a white wall. Welcome to Birdyland.
Jls Birdy is a French photographer who lives and works in Paris. Born in Bordeaux in 1979, he practiced photography since childhood. In 2008, he started producing 2 to 3 series of pictures a month depicting a character, mostly a woman, the most often naked. Sex, humor, pass through Jls Birdy’s images. In a very clean aesthetic, which brings a certain refinement to his provocation.
