Zoo - Untitled #11 - Edition 2 of 10 Photograph

San Francisco Zoo At the time I was producing Zoo from 2007-2008, I was thinking about the work as a way of examining the desire to manipulate nature, to create an artificial reality, a simulation by giving environments more order than they normally would include. I was also interested in the physical space where the two--constructed and natural--began to break down. Reflecting back on the project now, 6 years later, I think a lot about the work in relationship to photography. In its historical relationship, modern zoos and the invention of photography were both introduced roughly the same time period, in the early to mid-1800. In their functional relationship, both seem to have the impulse to categorize and package the world. Lastly, with their relationship to representation, both have the ability to create a diorama. 24" x 30" | Edition of 10 | $700 40" x 50" | Edition of 5 | $1500 Limited edition archival inkjet prints are produced on an Epson Stylus Pro printer using the latest HDR archival inkjet technology.
