Abstract
A photo-essay on the film installation 'Ming of Harlem', written for Antennae: The Journal of Art & Nature. The essay combines images (not documentation) generated during a unique film and photo shoot, whereby a five-room apartment was designed and established in an existing outdoor tiger enclosure at the Isle of Wight Zoo, UK. Most especially the images show how a space is 'laced' to encourage a tiger to roam into shot. The essay describes philosophical, practical and exotic modes of inter-species companionship, considering predation, ingestion and the political imagination.

Bibliographical note
Impact: The photo-essay forms part of a two-issue survey by Antennae Journal of the 'Making Nature: How we see Animals' exhibition at the Wellcome Collection in London in 2016-17. The exhibition, visited by over 131,000 people, incorporated a reworked two-screen commission of the film 'Ming of Harlem'. The widely reviewed exhibition examined what we think, feel and value about other species, and the consequences this has for the world around us.Keywords
