The works for ‘Wunderkammer’ were first brought together for the ‘Tent of Wonders: Sculpture by the Sea’, in Bondi October 2012, where it was viewed by over 80,000 people.
The exhibition includes sculptural installations by artist Rod McRae, using real animals to explore issues around biodiversity, pollution, stewardship, hunting, ownership, colonisation, climate change and human-animal relations. The artist argues that if you want to get people to save an animal species then show them the real animal, not a bronze, metal, clay or plastic simulation.
