1984 (New York: International Center of Photography)
In Wildlife Requiem, we see deer, elk, bear, and antelope from their first encounters with hunters to their final resting places as trophies and icons. The beauty—color, light, and design—found in the harsh world of the hunter and the hunted creates a tension between the simultaneous existence of life and death, freedom and constraint, destruction and birth. These dualities raise the question of whether or not human action can eradicate not only the physical reality of the animals themselves, but also the anima—the spirit—of the wilderness.
