SHOW CAVES explores the anthropocentric tendencies of modern tourism seen in domestic and international show caves. These large format images highlight the tension between the staggering natural beauty of caves and the renovations people make in order to transform these spaces into spectacular tourist attractions. Are these additions acts of vandalism disrupting a delicate eco-system for the sake of commercial profit? Or do these human interventions draw attention to the preservation of caves and make hard-to-access natural wonders readily available for appreciation?
