Art for Animals documents several projects by artist and ecologist Jeff Meldrum that introduces sculpture to the wilderness of Northern Saskatchewan. The artist utilizes motion activated trail cameras, typically used by hunters, to document wild animals interacting with sculptural work. The artist notes, "In recruiting wild animals as stand-ins for the human viewer/collaborator, I hope to subvert the dichotomy of human vs. animal which has erroneously placed humankind at the top of the pyramid. Rather than elevate the animal to the status of human being, this project aims to diminish the anthropocentric viewpoint of culture and contemporary art. This project proposes that aesthetic endeavours may not rest solely with humankind."
