English artist Mark Wilson and Icelandic artist Bryndis Snaebjornsdottir explored the provenance of stuffed polar bears in stately homes and museums in the UK.

In Australia they further explore the cultural implications of humans coveting these exotic animals through taxidermy, while the polar bear is losing its habitat and facing extinction in nature.
