Zana Briski

Zana Briski spent 10 years working on her project in the brothels of Kolkata, India, where she photographed, filmed, and taught photography to the children of prostitutes. Her film "Born Into Brothels" won the 2005 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. Her current project, "Reverence", consists of large photographic artworks of insects housed in a traveling museum. "Reverence" will travel to city parks around the world, challenging our fear of otherness. In "Night Wild", she works without a camera to create life-sized photograms of animals in the wild directly onto photographic paper.
