“Obviously” shows Corregan’s fascination with the medium of photography - in particular the fact that she can bend the truth to her own ends, playing with reality through the medium’s apparent objectivity. These birds are actually stuffed, but portrayed from behind we are left in some doubt as to whether or not they are living. Corregan uses this ambiguity, characteristic to photography, to emphasise that the viewer is constantly being manipulated. The series removes the bird, symbol of flight and freedom, from its natural environment. Time and life seem frozen, allowing the viewer to concentrate upon the creatures’ forms, textures and magnificent colours. Looking in the same direction as the viewer, and reinforced by their central positioning, the subjects look more like characters than birds. (from Foam_Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam, 2008)
