"For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us"

Harshly hallucinogenic, lights gleaming like the garish shine of a megametropolitan neon hell, duality puzzling the eye amid shots composed with a chilly nocturnal distance, Anne Lamb’s work induces severe headiness, but that headiness yields a moment of clarity: the oddity of flesh is laid plain as familiar animals and even the human body we so lust after suddenly seem alien; with even our own forms at such a remove, one is left to ponder matters of the body as an exoskeleton for the spirit, the biological curiosity of desire, and just how animal we are.
