Taxidermy Photographers: Karen Knorr

Have you already seen Karen Knorr's photographs from her Fable series.  If not, you should because they are remarkably beautiful, crisp, and haunting.  Here is a little sampling.

Her photographs use taxidermy as well as live animals, analog photography as well as some digital remixing, which gives the scenes an unreal hybrid sort of reality.  From here Knorr's website:

"The usual aim of the fable is to teach a lesson by drawing attention to animal behaviour and its relationship to human actions and shortcomings. Animals in fables speak metaphorically of human folly, criticizing human nature. Yet it seems that the nature of Karen Knorr’s work has another aim. In  Knorr’s  “Fables”  the animals are not dressed up to resemble humans nor do they illustrate any explicit  moral. Liberated, they roam freely in human territory  drawing attenton to  the unbridged gap between nature and culture.
