Kent Rogowski: Bears

Bears by Kent Rogowski is a collection of Rogowski's photographs of teddy bears that he has unstitched/unstuffed and then restitched/restuffed and inverted. What's so interesting about this project is the ways the contours and stitchings alter the bear's 'historical topography'. Just as our 'scars' shape and define our appearance, those changes in the bear's appearance alter how we view the bear. Pretty cool, I think....


My favorite bear in the collection is the one shown above: Bear #45. I would love to have that one! Click on the picture to see the rest of the images
