Fluctus condenses the first seconds of a bird’s flight. Filmed in super slow motion from a top-down perspective, the project reveals the uniqueness of the gesture, the structure of movement, and the morphological and chromatic diversity of each species.

Unlike Ornitografías, which focused on flight patterns and interactions between individuals, Fluctus shifts attention to the single bird. By isolating it against a white or black background, the richness of its shapes and colors, often lost in collective flight, is brought to the foreground. The body becomes a living trace: in transition between impulse and direction, between earth and air.

The title, from Latin Fluctus (wave), refers to the temporal expansion of the gesture: each image becomes a suspended wave that condenses past, present, and future. It encourages a decelerated gaze, one that allows us to notice what usually goes unseen.

Created in collaboration with ornithologists and wildlife recovery centers, the project ensures an ethical and respectful approach: birds are filmed at the moment of their release, in controlled and safe conditions.

Fluctus is conceived as a growing collection. Each image is presented at real scale, evoking the spirit of historical cabinets of curiosities. The result is a visual experience that celebrates the singularity of life and reminds us of the urgency to protect it.
