Additionally, the exhibition presents three earlier series of portraits that investigate the inner lives of
particular animals: Reverie (2005) depicts gray wolves, alone and
in packs,
in forested nature preserves
in Sweden, Norway, and the United States; Palermo 7 (2006) contains close - up portraits of racehorses, with their heads tethered
in place
in their hippodrome stalls
in Italy and France; and
Heart Shaped
Hole (2008) depicts stray dogs, adapting
in different ways to the privation they experience on the streets of Palermo.
