Victoria Szlek’s photographic project engages with taxidermized animals and the way in which humans have exhibited animals as ‘specimens’ for display within its institutions throughout history. Szlek highlights how places like the Natural History Museum attempt to present dead animals in a state of life, suggesting that they may come to life and therefore blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
