Deşi naşterea e o experienţă universală, condiţiile în care se desfăşoară diferă adesea de la o cultură la alta. Fotografa americană Alice Proujanksy a realizat recent o serie de imagini intitulată Birth Culture, în care a documentat diferite saloane şi încăperi unde femei din mai multe regiuni ale lumii dau naştere. De la prima fotografie realizată în timpul unei naşteri din 2006, artista a prins fascinaţia acestui moment esenţial, urmărindu-l apoi constant de-a lungul câtorva ani: “E o experienţă stranie, puternică şi înspăimântătoare, care poate fi şi foarte frumoasă,” spune Proujansky.
