DiverseWorks Presents 'Zoosphere' Installation, 3/12-4/17
Allison Hunter
Zoosphere
March 12-April 17, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, March 12, 6-8pm
Zoosphere is a transcendent installation of image and sound investigating humankind's relationship to the natural world. In her first ever immersive video installation, Hunter upends the power dynamic between the human and non-human animal within a dark, mazelike environment in which the man and beast co-mingle. Drawing on the experience of a visit to the zoo, audiences will travel through a a subdivided series of exhibition galleries filled with life-size projections of zoo animals devoid of any natural animal sounds (trumpeting elephants, birds in flight, herding zebras, barking sea lions, etc.) Against the backdrop of a rapidly shifting ecological landscape in which species across the globe are threatened with extinction, Zoosphere reconnects humanity with the beauty and wonder of the animal kingdom and forces us to examine our relationship with and responsibility to it.
