Birds is an aviary bringing together nearly 200 drawings made by Jochen Gerner between February 2019 and September 2020. Each of these birds has been drawn with pigmented Chinese ink pen on small school notebooks, originating in China and India, on which lines and tiles of different sizes appear. This series of drawings is a graphic experiment aimed at exploring the potentialities of the frame, the superposition of strokes, and the association of a reduced number of colors in the creation of plumages. By mixing dreamed and real birds, this inventory questions the links between imagination and reality in our daily life, and teaches us that fantasy is most often nestled in everyday reality.
