Description - Please Do Not Feed by Andy Morley-Hall
London-based photographer Andy Morley-Hall has spent a significant part of the last two years hanging out at zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, watching people and animals. At some point it seems the line between the two has blurred; whether London, Bristol or New York, Morley-Hall's unerring eye for the incongruous and absurd results in memorable compositions detailing the complex inter-relations between humankind and beast. Is a leopardskin coat the most sensitive apparel for viewing tigers? Should the devoted animal-lover discard her sheep-shaped backpack before heading to the children's zoo? Who derives the greater entertainment when lumbering homo sapiens adopts the characteristics of the creature within his view? Whatever the situation, Morley-Hall frames his subject with a brutal honesty that threatens to turn the zoo experience on its head.
