Most people who see Nathalia Edenmont's pictures for
the first time are impressed by how beautiful they are. It takes a few
seconds before you start to wonder how they have been made. A
photo-montage? Some kind of digital manipulation? When you look closer,
there is something slightly distorted in the rabbit's expression.
Something slightly abnormal about the face of the cat. Slowly you realise
that the animal is dead, that the animal has died for the sake of the
picture. Is this acceptable? |

Nathalia grew up in the former Soviet
Union, and she has a razor sharp eye for paradoxes and gaps in our western
morals. She is not the first to use dead animals in her works of art - that has been done at least since the
1700s, but she is a contemporary debater who provokes questions which
nowadays everyone should ask themselves. Her pictures tell lies in front
of our faces, but they are not alone in this - the lies exist all around
us every day, without us questioning them. |
