In this book from the collection Des oiseaux (On birds), South Korean photographer Kyunghee Lee takes us into the winter forests of the far south of her country, to meet the crows. At nightfall, motionless, waiting for the birds during their migration from Siberia, the photographer hides among the trees, her tripod protected from the great cold that reigns at this time of year. Flocks of crows emerge from the distance, as if orchestrated by an invisible choreographer. The air is filled with their powerful cries, excluding any other sound from the forest. The photographer knows that she has little time, she carefully presses the shutter button, concentrated, mastering the slightest noise. Suddenly there is complete silence, the darkness is total and the cold air becomes almost compact. The forest offers birds its hospitality.
