Museum diorama containing animal taxidermy remain a morbid, yet intriguing heritage of the imperial past rendering the threat of the wild as docile bodies in domesticated
nature tableaux — frozen as if in stone. ‘Diorama interrupted’, is a photo-essay on taxidermy dioramas at the Durban Natural History Museum. The photographs, printed as botanical anthotypes render the perpetual limbo of the taxidermy object undone. In the faded ephemera of the anthotypes, dusty museum wraiths return to nature as ghosts, de-objectified.
The Diorama Interrupted series (2022) employs anthotyping, a Victorian photographic process that uses the photosensitive properties of anthocyanin pigments in flowers to create unique prints through sustained exposure of a 'positive' to the sunlight. The resulting print is sealed in an encaustic (wax) layer to protect from UV rays. Hang indoors away from direct UV light. This print will fade slightly & BEAUTIFULLY over time.
