Behind Glass

Behind Glass is a collection of poignant photographs made in monkey houses in small zoos throughout Europe, thoughtfully constructed from exquisite archival materials. Anne Berry is recognized for her ability to create lyrical, intimate portraits of animals, and her photographs demonstrate a perception for capturing the animals’ emotional states and intense facial expressions. They reveal an undeniable communication between herself and the primates she visits and her adept ability to capture this connection. Berry’s powerful and moving photographs gently confront the viewer to facilitate a reexamination of the human, and often personal, relationship with the animal kingdom. The book will be released in a hardbound edition of 472 copies. The embossed suede cover has a tipped in image on front and back. The binding is Smyth sewn, 112 pages with 50 duotone plates. The book includes a statement by Jane Goodall and essays by Jerry Cullum and primatologist Jo Setchell.
