Plumb is less interested in editorializing than disrupting people’s context, springing a feeling moment upon them. — Julia Cooke, Virginia Quarterly Review Captive elephants exhibit what biologists refer to as stereotypy, which includes rhythmic rocking, head bobbing, stepping back and forth, and pacing. Artist Colleen Plumb traveled to over seventy zoos in the US and Europe, creating videos featuring dozens of captive elephants in their small enclosures. She has photographed her guerrilla public projections of the video in over 100 locations worldwide. Thirty Times a Minute includes a selection of these photos, along with nine contributions from animal rights activists and scientists, in order to examine the way animals in captivity function as colonialist symbols of human domination over nature.
