Stepping into the Californian’s massive installations feels like visiting the zoo. Some rooms, filled with multi-channel projections, turn into giant aquariums; others, dotted with screens on walls and floors, give the impression of peering into cages where monkeys, falcons, tigers, zebras and insects are being kept. Sometimes it’s like a natural history museum, with wall-sized planets glowing in darkened rooms, but round a corner and you’ll come face to face with the next animal in captivity: humans. We’re sitting on benches, we’re playing chess; we’re just another species in Thater’s zoo.
