A series of works "Murmurations" by a famous French photographer Alain Delorme - this is another attempt to remind humanity of those environmental problems that are, as they say, on the agenda. At first glance, it may seem that these are huge flocks of birds circling in the sky, but in fact, the talented artist created an unusual installation: black plastic bags played the role of birds. What came of this, see below.
Traditionally, in winter, Europeans observe huge flocks of starlings circling above the ground shortly before sunset. From November to February, the birds surprise the townspeople with impromptu performances, when their congestion resembles giant black clouds.
In Alain Delorm's photographs, the flocks of birds look a little different, they are more like bizarre geometric shapes. And no wonder, because in fact in picturesque photographs we see ordinary garbage bags. This is a kind of symbol of the impending ecological catastrophe, a warning about the damage to the atmosphere caused by harmful emissions every day.
By the way, we recall that we have already told the readers of the site Culturology. Ru about the work of Alain Delorma. A series of his photographs entitled “Made in China” is another reflection on urgent problems.

But only in the state of Rajasthan there is a completely extraordinary temple, where rats have long been the sovereign owners. And thousands of pilgrims go to Karni Mata that

Kilograms of trash. "Trash" art by Tom Deininger
What to do with all the rubbish that no, no, but is collected in our homes on balconies, in closets, cellars and basements, in garages and dachas, in general, everywhere?
