Delorme is most likely using a digital format, although it
is not clearly stated whether or not he used analog or digital. For his set of
photographs, he uses a color format in the pictures. He takes his shots at dawn
or dusk, due to the low amount of natural light in the sky when these
photographs were taken.
From a distance, the subjects appear to be a large flock of
birds flying in formation. It is with closer inspection that it is something
completely different: plastic bags which were shaped to be like a flock of
birds flying. It appears that he has several thousands, if not hundreds of thousands,
of plastic bags on hand to produce these photographs. He shot each target more
than one hundred times each at several vantage points, composing them all
together in a single image.
I very much enjoyed Delorme’s work. The viewer can take away
from looking at this piece that anything can be made into something that can be
photographed. In this case, it is the plastic bags. Also, It also shows that
there can be many different ways to compose shapes with objects that are
completely irrelevant to the larger picture.
