Sinossi

Through the Insect Theatre collection Tim Edgar provides an eye-opening commentary on the spectacle of the everyday and the insects that we reside with. The photographs are contextualised in the essays by anthropologist Hugh Raffles, who discusses the life and death situations in the cobweb and the chaos in the domestic insect world.

Recensione

'Insect Theatre violently drags the spectator into the tussocks. In Edgar's close up images of dead flies, the spindle trails of spent spider webs and the death-field detritus of broken wings, legs and other shrivelled insect matter we journey into an unrelentingly Hobbesian state of nature, a world of devastation and desiccation-into-dust.' - Luke Bennett on Tim Edgar s Insect Theatre --occursus
