Concurrent with her first monograph of the same name, Paula McCartney's show Birdwatching features a provocative series of beautifully composed, lush color photographs depicting a wide variety of birds in pristine, bucolic settings. The viewer only experiences the uncanny realization that the birds are, in fact, replications after being completely invited into the fantasy of the setting. The show raises timely questions about photography after Photoshop: what's real? What's fake? Does it matter? — as well as the undying debates around photography's dual function in documentary and art.
