Animals, Plants and Afterimages

“The editors and contributors of this book challenge readers to imagine alternative ways to “see” extinction and to share that vision with others. For those willing to engage it, meeting that challenge in Animals, Plants and Afterimages comes with powerful and illuminating insights.”• The Quarterly Review of Biology

“Animals, Plants and Afterimages draws together an impressive range of essays that describe, contemplate, explore, and challenge the relationships between extinction and representation, engaging with a series of perceptual, conceptual, material, and illusory afterimages of animals and plants with whom we can no longer co-exist but who still matter to us.”• Rick De Vos, Curtin University

“The editors’ approach to extinctions through museum exhibitions, technologies and works of art is highly illuminating. Next time, when I visit a natural history museum, I will see the exhibition and the dead animals and plants in a different light.”• Markku Oksanen, University of Eastern Finland
