Johanna, you are just the best at pointing out these wonders that I would otherwise miss. Thank you!

I'm not usually the "finder", Marion. Mostly, people send ME links which I then share, so I'm indebted to all my non-photog friends who often think of me :)

ETA - I love them all but find the worm one fascinating. And I wonder - HOW DOES SHE LIGHT THESE????

Here are some more of her images, some with explanations.

I wonder if we had the "bucks", how many of us could put them to such amazing use...

wow...absolutely amazing.

other than using a camera to photograph the set, that art really is not about photography, at least in my opinion.

what would really be awesome would be for her to gopro the production.

I love elaborate concept photography as much as the next guy, however, sometimes photoshop might have been acceptable.

Back in the day, I used to earn part of my living photographing installations for museums like the L.A. County Museum of Art and the La Jolla and Timken museums in San Diego. That's vaguely what this feels like here: she's documenting her own art. The art is in the installation itself, the photography is more a means of recording it. It's not entirely that cut-and-dry, because the installation exists only to BE photographed, and the photograph is the end-product of the work, but...

This isn't to take anything away from the work, which I think is fascinating and complex... And I'm generally all for blurring of lines when it's done well.

Yes, that's kind of what it reminded me of as well. I started my working life, back in the late 80's early 90's training and working as a theatre set and lighting designer/technician and the first thing these reminded me of was the many small to medium scale set designs i've seen and worked on. Lots of very talented theatre designers around. I think the photographs are great and i also like the blurring of lines between theatre/installation/photography. Very nice.
