FUTURES & Magnum Photos invite you to join us for our next online Artist Spotlight with Lia Darjes.
For this talk, Lia Darjes will present her project Plates I-XXXI, published by Chose Commune in 2024.
The enigmatic guests at Lia Darjes’ banquet seem straight out of a fairy tale. Plates I-XXXI is a silent series in vivid colours that unveils the magic of an unexpected reality.
Squirrels, tits, slugs, field mice, ants, sparrows: these are some of the small animals that become the protagonists of Lia Darjes’ mysterious tale. Far from frightening, they captivate and charm with their furtive spirit.
Plates I-XXXI is a silent, colourful series that lifts the veil to reveal that unexpected visitors and magical parallel worlds are closer than we think. Lia will being her talk by discussing the start of her career, explaining how she transitioned from photojournalism to documentary photography, a journey that ultimately led to the creation of Plates I-XXXI.
