In this reevaluation of her story, Daphne's becoming tree--and becoming image--is reimagined as a cipher for contemporary predicaments, illuminating the perils and potentials of a profound transformation of the human. Daphne is here recast as a dynamic model for the ruptures between the \"figures\" and \"grounds\" of today's visual, social and ecological environments. Essays and artist contributions explore the integrity of bodies, their performative or prosthetic extensions and the alliances they enter into across species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors include: \u003c\/b\u003e Jacquelyn Ardam, Lauren Burrow, Justin Clemens, Amelia Groom, Eva Hayward, Caroline A.
