黑料不打烊

Drawn by literature, myths, folklore traditions and personal stories, the participating artists responded to the visual presentation of animals, mainly in the entertainment industry, and the symbiosis of the human with the non-human. 鈥淎nimal Tales鈥� derives from the tradition of allegorical writing, is a terminology that has become prevalent to describe (usually children鈥檚) fairy tales and stories featuring animals that have adopted anthropomorphic characteristics and ways of life. With a humorous attitude and a mocking gaze, the exhibition borrows this terminology attempting to turn this anthropocentric, entertaining gaze on the social dimensions of the diptych of humanity 鈥� animality. In an attempt to propose the complexities of the human relationship with both nature and the animal kingdom. Embracing critical and philosophical references of Western philosophers, the exhibition evolves through seven themes which juxtaposed and complement each other: from the intimacy and companionship of pets, to the distancing of man from animals when they are found in the natural environment, due to the dissociation of animals from their natural habitat. Animal stories, survival instincts, the food chain, colonialism and fairy tales blend in a spectrum of hybridization, the blurring of the boundaries of the human and the non-human, to post-human.
