DNA: Department of Nocturnal Affairs

A Creative Project of Tal Yizral and Caroline Maxwell

The Department of Nocturnal Affairs (DNA) is a creative project by artists Tal Yizrael and Caroline Maxwell. Originally envisioned as both a work of installation and performance art, the DNA has opened "field offices" in various public parks and art venues around the Los Angeles area to collect reports of nocturnal wildlife sightings.
The exhibition at Project_210 will include much of the material collected at the DNA field offices, as well as new works that involve their most current explorations into issues such as light pollution, deviant behavior in nocturnal animals, and the incarceration and rehabilitation of nocturnal animals.
