Over a period of weeks or months, photographer Tanya Marcuse builds up sections of earth with transplanted mushrooms, berries, and various plants, adding in preserved animals (who have died elsewhere) along with fresh materials. The result is a tour de force of nature, which she likens to the roiling bodies of Jan van Eyck’s Last Judgment or a Jackson Pollock dense, all-over composition.

William Eggleston at David Zwirner Gallery
It’s easy to recognize this scene by legendary photographer William Eggleston, without even knowing where it was shot. Typically Eggleston, its bright, saturated colors and subject matter featuring an everyday American landscape and vernacular architecture are deeply familiar. (At David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea through Dec 17th).
