Natalie Lennard
Call to Prayer - Staged Photograph of Muslim Birth Scene (Peach+Teal)

2020

About the Item

"Call to Prayer" is the latest photograph in the award-winning series 'Birth Undisturbed' by British photographer Natalie Lennard. The series travels through time and space to show the truth behind birth from ancient to current times. Aiming to bring back a sense of reality and truth to childbirth that has been taken away and commercially censored to the public. "In the first moment this baby enters the world, the Adhan, the Muslim call for prayer, is whispered by the father into the right ear. “There is no deity but Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.” When done at the first possible moment, before examination or words of hospital staff, it follows the Islamic principle that the very first words the baby hears be that of the Adhan. Done before the cord is cut, it also allows that scientific physiology is honored and full blood runs a course to the infant till the cord is white and drained." Every image in Birth Undisturbed is available to purchase as a limited edition, numbered photographic artwork. Available in 13x19, 35x47, 47x62, 59x75 as well. Inquire for more pricing.

Inquire for more pricing and follow our storefront at Gallery 1202 for more work by Lennard. "The Whitechapel Woman" is part of international artist, Natalie Lennard's series Birth Undisturbed. “For the first time... I had been refused when offering chloroform... later I asked her why... shyly she turned from thw window that burst the first light of dawn and said: ‘It didn’t hurt. It wasn’t meant to, was it, doctor?’" A chance phrase by a woman in a hovel in Whitechapel in 1911, that childbirth wasn’t meant to be painful, led the young Dr Grantly Dick-Read to explore that in the absence of fear, the body's natural endorphins can replace the stress hormones that cause pain in childbirth. He went on to write the most influential book on childbirth of the last century, 'Childbirth Without Fear' in 1942, with the passage describing the encounter becoming famously enshrined in birth philosophy. “The window was broken, rain pouring in, the bed had no proper covering… the room was lit by one candle stuck in the top of a beer bottle on the mantelshelf, my patient covered in sacks… a neighbour had brought in a jug of water and a basin”. Dick-Read’s cinematic account for the first time is here visualised, re-enacted at Dennis Severs’ House, a ‘living museum’ of Victorian London. With inspiration from the composition of painting ‘The Doctor’ (1890) by Sir Luke Fildes...

Creation of Man- Staged Chiaroscuro Photograph of Birth Scene Black+Blue+Orange
By Natalie Lennard
Located in Gilroy, CA
"Creation of Man" is part of international artist Natalie Lennard's series Birth Undisturbed. “The human species is no more unsuited to give birth than any other of the 5000 species of mammals on the planet. The birth-giving woman is the central agent in the ancient drama of bringing forth new life.” — Ina May Gaskin. Every year we celebrate a natural birth, a story that takes place in the most primitive surroundings. Mary, giving birth to the Son of God in a stable, that infamous image portrayed recurrently in our culture, familiar to even the non-religious. Yet how is it that beyond Julius Garibaldi’s 1891 painting...
