Over five years the photographer Lillian Birnbum has followed young Adah and her friends, creating a diaristic serie capturing moments of innocence and fragility, play and seriousness. Some partly staged, most of them snap shots, the photographs become reflections on childhood and the first discovery of the young girls feminity.
The photographs, which are lyrical and at times contemplative, are rich in references and engage the fields of journalism, fine-art and fashion. Almost as an anthropological study, they witness of the young girls’ process: the transition into adolescence.
