Taxidermy (Single)
DESCRIPTION
The world of taxidermy is a strange and closed world. We are behind the scene, in a world of creation and death. This world fascinate me. I can see a world to explore, a wish to bring life back. I discover workrooms, reserves, unknown exhibition rooms and museum cellars. Animals are regarded as trophies, exhibition models or whether simple memories of what animals should have been for us in the past. These animals become memories, a story, while trying to keep a lively look. We explore those peculiar places and we feel observed. Dirt and naphthalene smells overwhelm me. I cross alone with my camera a gallery of stoic and still animals.
