Film, Conversation, and Book Signing with Rosamond Purcell

Finding unexpected beauty in the discarded and decayed, photographer Rosamond Purcell has developed a body of work that has garnered international acclaim and graced the pages of National Geographic and over 20 published books. This film details Purcell’s fascination with the natural world — from a mastodon tooth to a hydrocephalic skull — offering insight into her unique way of recontextualizing objects both ordinary and strange into sometimes disturbing but always breathtaking imagery.
