Between cabaret and masquerade, a scene that disturbs appearances.
In Les autruches , Maguy Bourzeix invites us to a unique parade, combining humor, seduction, and a strange majesty. A woman of assured elegance, adorned with red feathers and perched on high heels, sits at the center of a procession of almost human ostriches. Her gaze is direct, assured—half starlet, half empress of a fantastical world.
The contrast is striking: behind the frivolity of the feathers lies a precisely measured composition, where the grace of the female body rivals the animal's presence. Ostriches do not flee, they accompany, they surround, almost protective.
Bourzeix plays here with the codes of spectacle, fashion, and surrealism to offer a lively, eccentric work, yet imbued with a strange depth. A scene that questions the gaze, postures, and the power of the image.
