Abstract
Britta Jaschinski’s photography generates more questions than answers, but they are good questions, and perhaps she realizes it would be presumptuous to suggest unilateral answers about the issues she addresses. What does an animal look like? Where does an animal belong? What happens to animals when we try to look at them through our own cultural frames? What are we looking for? The viewer must work diligently and ethically to resolve the conundrums represented in her provocative images.
