So many places to look in this multi-media exhibition If artifacts are 3-D and photos are 2-D, then perhaps lines of text can be thought of as 1-D. Unlike the still photos, the (rear-projection) video loop at the center of this snapshot from the "Mandela: the official exhibition" includes an audio layer with specially arranged speakers that confine the playback to the immediate vicinity of viewers, rather than filling the exhibit hall. Also in the snapshot is reflection on the video display in which part of the far wall to the left of the large portrait of Rev. Desmond Tutu, including a visitor reading the label text.

Beaver pelt alive and dead For the museum display, of course, all materials are non-living, but this photo shows how different the beavers' skin looks on the animal versus grouped into an adult-size human overcoat (and top hat). The recent book by Leila Philip, Beaverland, and the recent TV program on PBS.org, Beaver Fever, introduce the place of "nature's civil engineers" to readers and viewers that makes the fur trapping seem strange indeed.

Sharp tools and keen eye to carve ivory Before mass slaughter and globally reaching supply chains, obtaining a piece of ivory and then having the skill and the tools to carve it contributed to the impact it made on viewers. Sometimes an artificial material and precision molding made possible mass production so that ordinary people could see and own something similar to those earlier pieces of art. Now the creature whose ivory was taken, the traders who brought it to the craftsperson, the carver, the buyer, and many of the generations whose hands this piece passed between are dead. Ever since the piece arrived at the museum and became part of the permanent display, many more people have been able to admire the piece and to ponder the cost of obtaining it than even before. As for theme, it seems unlikely that a sculptor would do a "photograph" to capture normal life contemporary to his own reference point. So this subject probably represents an imagined bygone era, tinged with nostalgia for both maker and buyer. Press L for lightbox (large) view; click the image or press Z for full image display.
