Scarecrows
France
2017Jury
Upon noticing that there were no scarecrows left in the fields and gardens, Kate Fichard wanted to bring the birds and those harmlessly terrifying shapes together again. A scarecrow is supposed to frighten the birds as they approach it. This perpetual antgonism was the source of inspiration which the creatures come from. They may not be systematically scary but they rely on a certain idea of what modern fear is. This project was made with the plastic artist Hugo Deniau.
