Lori Nix’s “Plane,’’ from her “Stories Retold’’ exhibit up now at Ellen Miller Gallery.

Johan uses both film and digital photography. He takes pictures of live animals, roadkill, and taxidermy, posing the figures and adding details digitally. He has a choreographer’s attunement to form and uses it to exaggerate the creatures’ natural assets, making them more imposing, as in “Untitled #154,” a dance of serpents.
