Topiaries grazing on the eye-rays of order.This is a mocking picture, as it suggests that animals-as-plants are a good analog for spaces acting as preserves for fun or nature. What’s missing, and what is thereby pointed at, is the wild. Preserving wildlife (gorillas in zoos, humans in theme parks) is a contradictory enterprise.

A place as much as a picture, this image at once conveys the sensation of stopping for a view and being the object of such a view. The lines of perspective, bending inward and overhead, sink you into your coordinates while they emphasize the grid of lookers-on. It’s a panopticon with shrubbery.
