Jill Greenberg captures the uncanny. Her photographs are intriguing and captivating overall. The perfectly executed photographs showcasing the perfection of its target in a not so perfect behavior is quite remarkable. The photo shopped/airbrushed quality to the figures allow viewers to engage in their perfectly displayed skin and/or fur, all in while knowing that no one has skin like those figures anywhere in the world. It's the enjoyment of believing that one could actually obtain that perfection. My views on the Uncanny lie in the realm of mental consciousness opposed to acts. The way Greenberg executes these photographs of perfectly smiling monkeys and peeing apes just mocks the Uncanny that one may have experienced through picture books or cartoons, instead with a more profound stamp on it. The uncanny humanness of the animals are displayed in a way that cannot be ignore but, at the same time how many cartoons involve human like animated characters. Also the angelic quality relates to dream like realms which also screams uncanny. Crying children aren't uncanny at all neither are little blonde girls doing gymnastics. The execution, the composition reads Uncanny.
