“Wildlife Beyond Borders” Photography Reception & Live Animals | East Bay

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Wildlife Beyond Borders is a photography exhibition that shows animals in their natural state. By traveling the world, waiting patiently for the perfect moment, and extensively researching their subjects, the eleven Bay Area artists have created deeply felt photographs. Their images take you to a transcendent understanding moving beyond mere fascination to a level of personal understanding. This is essential to saving what could so easily be lost and inspiring everyone to work to preserve all life on the precious planet.

Wildlife species represented are gorillas, lemurs, wild mustangs, elephants, cranes, polar bears, harp seal, swans, African cats, mountain lion, song birds, underwater world, and more.

The exhibit is enabled with a technology called “Augmented Reality” to enhance the user experience. When the viewer point their smart device at an image, behind the scene stories created by the artist starts playing. The viewer gets to know the artist, listen to relevant messages related to conservation, and discover what it takes to be a wildlife photographer. The technology is free of charge an doesn’t require any setups.

• Diana Rebman (Berkeley)
