Notes: Much like his scientific subject, Felzmann provides a well organized investigation of a unique place, a bird and animal sanctuary located on Farallon Island off the coast of California. It is an introspective study, probing a place where birds roost, mice have gone wild, and the scientific man is interested in how all of the elements and animals thrive and seemingly co-exist over time. Felzmann states “My own work is an archive, formed through an emotional relationship to place and the photographic possibility of creating a metaphor….observing the scientists, I realized that working together in a system or as a community is a creative act.”
