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.
