"Museum of the Apes"

Ape masks, the spectacle, the Mona Lisa and conservative museum culture are all playful topics of the photographic piece titled "Museum of the Apes". The gestures of animal performance play with the status of museums in contemporary society and challenge the viewer to consider themselves in a gallery looking at a photograph of an ape masked artist in a gallery looking at an art work. Is there more than meets the eye deeper inside this feedback loop or is it simply a case of monkey see monkey do?
