Synopsis

Photographer Alexandra Carr met Paz de la Huerta--the actress and "Boardwalk Empire" star--in New York in 2007, shortly before Paz became the celebrity she is today, and they soon agreed to collaborate on a photo project. They began shooting in the fall of 2008, often using Paz's small West Village apartment as a backdrop--which was mercifully well heated throughout that especially cold New York winter. A gorgeous, linen-bound volume, "The Birds Didn't Die over the Winter" explores themes of love, loneliness and the difficult transition from youth into relative maturity. As Carr recalls, "it was made during a turbulent time in Paz's life and her life is a subtext in an otherwise imagined reality. We would discuss a character and direction beforehand and then Paz would play out these roles partly of made up characters and of favorite scenes from films each shoot." Paz is a charismatic subject throughout the book, at once fearless, sexual and vividly present, moving fluidly between roleplay and apparent candor. Carr explains the title: "[Paz] called one morning in the spring saying she had an idea for what we should call the book. She said she woke up and heard birds outside her window. She couldn't believe they had survived such an abominable winter. It was a perfect metaphor for the book."

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dal 2008 al 2010, Paz de la Huerta, l'attrice protagonista della fortunata serie "Boardwalk Empire" ha collaborato con la fotografa Alexandra Carr al progetto "The birds didn't die over the winter". Quando, nell'autunno del 2008, iniziarono a fotografare, faceva già molto freddo ed entrambe erano al verde e depresse. Il progetto emerso durante quei mesi è un dialogo tra Carr e l'attrice in cui si esplorano tra l'altro i temi dell'amore, della solitudine e del passaggio spesso difficile dalla giovinezza a una relativa maturità. Il titolo fu un'idea di Paz de la Huerta. L'attrice chiamò Carr in una mattina di primavera dicendole che si era svegliata e aveva sentito gli uccelli fuori dalla sua finestra: non si capacitava che fossero sopravvissuti a un inverno tanto duro. L'episodio costituì una metafora perfetta per il libro.
