The photographer Christophe Maout invites us to rediscover the birds of the cities from the windows of his Parisian apartment while the country is in lockdown in 2020. He sets up a very particular device combining a pair of binoculars and a camera which takes us back to the origins of the medium. These round images evoke 19th century photography, that of the first Kodak cameras, but also its very essence: the optical image circle projected onto the sensitive surface.
