| الملخص: | Through the textbook case of the dodo, bird native to Mauritius discovered at the very end of the 16th century by Dutch colonialists and whose species was totally eradicated by the end of the next century, an entire visual discourse, both scientific and popular was built a posteriori during the 19th century, as the first environmental concerns were expressed notably in British society. Other species of birds unfortunately succeeded to this role of sentinel that had been played by the dodo, for example the passenger pigeon whose billions of individuals were decimated in record time on the North American soil. Heir to this iconography, in 2013 the Canadian photographer Sara Angelucci wrote a new stage in this iconography of extinction, borrowing the canons in order to replay them in a critical way, in light of the Anthropocene era and in the midst of the sixth extinction of the mass of the living. |
