Anne Zahalka's Natural Wonders series investigates fake and spectacular environments through large scale photographic images taken in real locations. Her intensely saturated photographs of places of entertainment are 'unnatural wonders' - places where nature is turned into spectacle through tourism or where nature is constructed within theme parks for fantasy or illusion. There is an eerie sensibility in these astonishingly detailed images of artifice.
