This piece features the white tailed deer of Fire Island, where they have no natural predators and are habituated to living with and being monitored by humans. ISLAND ARCADIA celebrates the beauty of the deer and the island while exploring the notion of wildlife, and wondering what wildlife thinks of us. The deer are crepuscular animals, and the music is inspired by the idea of a life experienced mainly at dawn and dusk.Organizers:Emilie Lundstrøm is a Danish visual artist currently living & working in New York City.
