Collections
My studio visit began with previously unseen prints made from a challenging visit to the Mutter Museum and the Spallanzani Collection. These haunting images were forensic studies of human and animal abnormalities categorized and cataloged for study and viewed by 19th century collectors as a source of investment and entertainment. It was a courageous body of work to photograph and it was bold to exhibit it. Neil Rantoul is known for his sweeping aerial landscapes and methodical architectural studies, both devoid of people. Collections was a striking departure for this established photographer.
