Zoologist Jochen Lempert has consecrated himself
to animal photography. Relating to his scientific
fieldwork in humorous and poetic ways, his serial
black-and-white photographs attempt to give
order to nature. This monograph features studies
of swans in swimming formation; profile portraits
of duck-like birds with charismatic beaks; images of
a monkey wedged under a rock and a deer crossing
the street. Lempert’s photographs of baby strollers
lined with all variety of sheepskins are dry and
funny; his studies of waves have an understated
power.
