Zebras in the California desert; a crocodile in the Loire, a buffalo in the Alps. In Frank Horvat's computer-enhanced world, native habitats become irrelevant and animals appear in alien settings where they nevertheless seem to blend in comfortably. Taken in zoos and then digitally manipulated, the pictures in this collection explore boundaries. 46 color photos.
Taken in zoos and then digitally manipulated, the forty-six pictures in this collection explore the boundaries of photography, highlighting the subjectivity of a documentary medium. By graphically "releasing" a wide array of zoo animals - denizens of an already artificial environment - into ecosystems that are even more unfamiliar, Horvat's work also underscores human ability to engineer a new and unnatural global landscape.
