Les Oiseaux by Lola Raban and Jean-René Etienne
An artist book by the duo Laura Laban-OLIVA and Jean-René Étienne, who are based between Paris and New York and work across the fields of film, art, and fashion.
When the forest at Notre Dame caught fire, Lola Raban-Oliva and Jean-René Etienne were at home, just two kilometres away. Each had their own camera, and zoom lens. From their window, it became almost possible to imagine the perspective of birds. It was no longer Notre-Dame burning, nor even a cathedral. Not a fire, but a vast disruption of the aerial space. A thick, blazing, chaotic convective column rose above the heart of Paris. Les oiseaux brings together 97 screenshots taken from the footage they captured that evening.
