treetags_twingos_sparrows
it's funny watching sparrows in berlin, thinking that they are native animals here. in australia, the concept of 'native animals' carries with it such a variety of loaded implications - the exotic, the colonised, the endangered.
this set is the first variation on the diptychs i've been working on. sets of 4 and 5 images will also follow at some point.
with this particular group, it's become more obvious that i'm drawn to subjects that occupy threshold territory between nature and culture. the twingo, however, sits a little less comfortably into that category, being exclusively a cultural object. but as a car not sold in australia, and thus exotic to me, it does now bear relationship with my comments about sparrows. is there such thing as a flock of twingos...?
