Series description
Gazing at animals in a zoo, they can sometimes appear far less ‘animal like’ than we imagine. There may be a sense of authenticity and freedom, but ‘there’s no escaping the fact that this is a designed haven where they want for nothing.’ The photographer compares the zoo to a ‘landscaped theatre of life.’
