Life: As We’ve Known It
Hours
Tu–Su: 10 am–5 pm; M: closed
As our planet enters another mass extinction period, only the sixth in its 4.5-billion-year history, the photographs in Life: As We’ve Known It respond to this anthropogenic event of unprecedented scale. David Ellingsen’s solarized Polaroid negatives were produced in partnership with Vancouver’s Beaty Biodiversity Museum and their curators, emerging through seven years of collaboration, research, and practice. At its core, this project was created as a response to the ravages of human activity on the natural world.
