Birds of America

In the early 19th century, a French painter, Jean-Jacques Audubon, traveled through Louisiana to paint all the birds of the New Continent. The discovery of wide open spaces encourages the utopia of a young nation that projects itself into a world of incredible beauty. Since then, the American Dream has been damaged and Audubon’s work forms an archive of the sky before the industrial age. On the banks of the Mississippi, Birds of America finds traces of these now extinct birds and unveils another story of the national myth.
