In the summer of 2022 I started a collaboration with Roadkill Reno, a young taxidermist based in the Mojave Desert.
I wanted to know more about an old art that for centuries has been strictly linked to the practice of hunting and keeping wildlife as trophies. Mainly I was interested in learning a different approach to this practice. Reno only works with ethically-sourced specimens, naturally-found or donated. They also work on pet preservation.
This is an ongoing project that aims to document another approach to taxidermy – a sustainable one that doesn't take advantage of animals, but instead honors them.
