taxidermy
These photographs are like a fairy tale and bring up a very specific feeling while viewing. That of love, dreams and death. You can buy prints of Laura's photographs by emailing her at laura.makabresku@gmail.com.
In his own words: I often use the natural history museum as a reference point because it grapples with ideas that I find myself struggling with. Control of the uncontrollable, indexing your surroundings, imperfectly re-creating what was once un-touched. These eccentric fusions of nature and culture are the uneasy disguises of pathos and pride that allow us to recognize and even celebrate an “other’s” mortality while deferring our own. In my work, I am attempting to re-create moments in order to be reminded of them, knowing that the replication is the ritual.
