Charlotte Dumas: Repose

Selection of this Dutch photographer’s work on animals is comprised of ten panels beautifully printed on a folded card stock. The presentation allows for an unfettered relationship with her portraits of stray dogs, horses, tigers and wolves; animals that are depicted living amongst humans in one form or another and seem to be solemnly judging us. “There is a collective solicitude among all animals in these portraits. They appear to have an awareness of each other, revealing a kinship among them. Contemplating the place of animals in our world as it is, this work surveys the specific relationships we have with animals that define us as human beings.
