REVIEW The Stranger
World mythologies provide us with countless stories of various unions between humans, animals, and nature and traditional art—wherever its global origins—reflects this intersection (only natural, given we once lived closer to the land we depended on and the animals we ate). Now people approach the wilderness and the animals in it like they do Disneyland: an entertaining environment that bears no relationship to daily life. As our contact with nature lessens, contemporary art reflects this disjunction more and more.
