Corinne Rusch: Thinking Around - Metaphors in Nature

Dates: 21.4.2009 to 26.6.2009. A strange mix of stuffed animal hides and photographs create an unsettling atmosphere in thinking around metaphors in nature by Corinne Rusch. In this new installation at the Austrian Cultural Forum London, Rusch ironically explores the obvious but often understated parallels between the human will to preserve our beauty and youth, and the ubiquitous taxidermy process, artificially preserving wild and domestic animals for our human sense of ownership. The dense medium-format photographs, which hang disturbingly between a series of stuffed animal asses, show us scenes from what appears to be the back room of a taxidermists studio.
