Animals Are Outside Today - from Colleen Plumb

一组探讨当今动物与人类关系的片子。仍然是我个人很喜欢的新纪实摄影手法。个别照片有些太现实和残酷，也许我自己会过滤掉那些成为我们盘中餐，惨遭杀戮的部分。至少艺术点到为止就好了，相对现实还是该留下些美好的梦

Animals Are Outside Today is a journey examining underneath this net, offering us the chance to contemplate our intersections with animals and consider the multi-layered impact humans have on other living beings.

Contradictions define our relationships with animals. We love and admire them; we are entertained and fascinated by them; we take our children to watch and learn about them. Animals are embedded within core human history—evident in our stories, rituals and symbols. At the same time, we eat, wear and cage them with seeming indifference, consuming them, and their images, in countless ways.

Our connection to animals today is often developed through assimilation and appropriation; we absorb them into our lives, yet we no longer know of their origin. Most people are cut off from the steps involved in their processing or acquisition, shielded from witnessing their death or decay. This series moves within these contradictions, always questioning if the notion of the sacred, and the primal connection to Nature that animals convey and inspire, will survive alongside our evolution.
