Victor Landweber juxtaposes selected plates from John James Audubon’s Birds of America with his original photographs of corporate and civic architecture. Audubon’s Birds were originally done in watercolor, painted in the wilds of North America in the 1820s and 1830s, then reproduced as hand-colored intaglio prints by Robert Havell, London, between 1827 and 1838.
Landweber intends his pictures to be seen as an updated vision of primeval American fauna as if it could have survived to flourish in post-modern urban America.
