About this work
Elad Lassry’s portrait of a Russian blue references the practice of commercial photography for which subjects are captured in the artificial world of the studio for later use in marketing. When Lassry’s works are presented in a gallery setting they are ‘on display’ like the objects and exhibits presented in a museum vitrine or diorama.
