If I lived closer to Chicago, then you can bet I'd be taking a trip to see Colleen Plumb's show, Animals Are Outside Today, at the City Gallery of Photography.

From the statement posted on her site regarding the series: 

This series of photographs examines the essence of our connection, as well as our fragmentation from the natural. I am interested in the ever increasing disconnection that exists between humans and the natural world. The work explores simulation, consumption, destruction, and reconstruction as well as notions of endurance and the reality of loss.

From what little I've seen, it looks much more intriguing, challenging and thoughtful than any wacko stunt PETA has ever dreamed up...
