Laboratory Life (For Oryx and Crake) is a series of over-layered photographs taken at scientific laboratories in Europe ( the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Rome, the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, and a biophysics lab at Imperial College in London) onto which images of gardens have been superimposed creating a tapestry-like effect. The resulting ambiguity forges questions concerning whether culture will overtake nature or visa-versa. This series of work was inspired by the writings of Margaret Atwood and Bruno Latour.
