Karen Knorr's photographs, is a fine example of the "marriage" between modern digital photography and manipulation techniques with the best in analogue photography. Each of the photographs displayed were about 3 feet by 2.5 feet with white wooden framing, which helped the colors of the interiors of palaces and the fur and plumage of the various animals and birds, to stand out. Unlike George Orwell's "Animal Farm", these animals and birds do not try to personify or represent human characters/groups, rather, according to the artist, "they roam freely in human territory drawing attention to the unbridged gap between nature and culture. They encroach into the domain of the museum and other cultural sanctuaries which resolutely forbids their entry". To the viewer, this intermingling comes out naturally as uncommon, and he/she is challenged to pay attention and appreciate the "surprise" element.
