Uncertainty in the City is a result of a research project, commisioned by Storey Gallery Lancaster, in which Bryndis Snæbjörnsdóttir and Mark Wilson investigated the margins of tolerance in the relationship between humans and other animals. During their research they observed ambivalence and contradictory interests in relation to a wide range of creatures. Most significant is the mixture of responses, the paradoxical nature of human attitudes towards agents of the ‘wild’, and the implicit cohesion-in-tension of the human/nature paradigm. Uncertainty in the City is a guidebook that looks at the human response to the other, to the animals that surround us.
