Amy Stein: Domesticated
“My photographs serve as modern dioramas of our new natural history. Within these scenes I explore our paradoxical relationship with the “wild” and how our conflicting impulses continue to evolve and alter the behavior of both humans and animals. We at once seek connection with the mystery and freedom of the natural world, yet we continually strive to tame the wild around us and compulsively control the wild within our own nature. Within my work I examine the primal issues of comfort and fear, dependence and determination, submission and dominance that play out in the physical and psychological encounters between man and the natural world. Increasingly, these encounters take place within the artificial ecotones we have constructed that act as both passage and barrier between domestic space and the wild.”
If these are photo’s of actual event’s you are a lucky person. If they are a stage set or some kind of photo magic (OOOOOO) they are a imaginitive as the next guy or gal.
i love the last one. the women looking out into the wild, all the free birds riding the wind. she wishes she could fly,,,but becouse she can’t she’s took that magic away from a few. she says she loves them but deep inside it makes her feel better that they can’t fly any more. there with her now
