The grey-crowned crane stare, the pouter pigeon pose: are birds secretly glamour models?
here is a problem in getting up close to birds in order to celebrate them. Warm-blooded, they support striking levels of energy and movement. They are social, active and dynamic – most of them fly, though there are significant species of flightless birds. Birds rarely stand still, especially near humans. That’s why the pioneering illustrators of the 19th century sought dead specimens to bring into the studio to paint.
The passenger pigeon was once the most abundant bird species. The last one died in Cincinnati Zoo in 1914 The history of possession usually goes badly for birds. But Flach sets out to turn possession on its head. Most of his subjects are not taken from the wild, but captive bred, often from aviaries involved in conservation work. There is no denying the contrived nature of the setting – even for the several domestic breeds photographed. But for Flach, engendering empathy for birds and encouraging support for conservation is a big part of the project.
