In the Midst of Nature


Today's art book, In the Midst of Nature by Bjorn Larsson cannot be found on amazon, or anywhere else stateside as far as I know, except for the admirable New York store Kiosk, purveyors of interesting goods from around the word or, as they put it, "things from places."


But anyhow, Larsson's book is a treat indeed. At first glance you think it's a book of nature photographs, and you're not far wrong. But you are wrong. Because it's really a book of photographs of nature dioramas--taxidermy, carefully arranged tree branches, and so forth--from various nature and science museums in Sweden. The resulting images are gorgeous.
