ZOO – FORCED MIGRATION

In the video narrow film from Berlin Hagenbeck Zoo (filmed in 1980) is combined with the stuffed animals in the warehouse of the Kuopio Natural History Museum. The work equates zoo animals with pets; the film is reflected in the greyhound herd which carries the image in their flanks and creates the impression of their participation in the life of the zoo. In the artwork human species will become one of the zoo attractions.
