Featured in "Walker Evans: Florida" are the surprising images Evans took during his six-week stay in the area, which constitute a little-known chapter in Evans's distinguished career. Far from creating stereotypical postcard pictures of sandy beaches and palm trees, Evans captured a region of contradictions. Here in the nation's seaside vacationland, Evans focused his lens on decaying architecture, crowded street scenes, retirees, and numerous images of the animals, railroad cars, and circus wagons from Ringling Brothers Circus, whose winter home was in Sarasota.

Summary:
Les animaux de zoo sont aujourd'hui tous nés en captivité. Vestiges vivants d'un monde sauvage perdu, archives génétiques ou ambassadeurs de leur espèce, ils sont gérés en collections et exposés comme au musée. De quels patrimoines sont-ils les restes ? Par son approche ethnographique, l'auteure invite à une réflexion en forme de promenade au zoo. Des allées aux enclos, des bureaux à la clinique, l'anthropologue observe, interroge, cherche à comprendre les logiques à l'œuvre, les plaisirs à voir, les dilemmes à lever. Car pour conserver la biodiversité avec des collections vivantes, pour maintenir captifs des animaux en assurant leur bien-être, pour divertir les publics tout en les sensibilisant, des choix doivent être faits : comme au musée, de sélection, d'inventaire et de mise en scène ; comme dans un élevage, de gestion des corps et des espaces, de sécurité sanitaire et de reproduction.

Based around an out-of-print anthology devoted to prehistoric collections unearthed by archaeological expeditions in Algeria, French artist Camille Henrot's latest project treats this ethnographic material as motifs of a contemporary grotesque. The scientific document photographs, diagrams, and captions becomes part of a layered array incorporating traces of our present age: humans, animals, plants, minerals, and other objects. Freely mixing the pre- and post-historic, archaic and actual, Henrot constructs an exploration of human bodies, information media, and meaning using dated pornography, technological refuse, tools and instruments, signs, and more.
