The Lives of Animals
We all know many stories about animals; they are part of our collective imagi颅nation. Since our childhood, we have spent time observing animals in various situations. Many of us have also formed personal opinions about them. Animals are probably among the most popular and, at the same time, the most complex subjects to have accompanied us since our species emerged. Humans are evolv颅ing along with animals, which is why our attitude towards them has changed over the course of history.
The exhibition The Lives of Animals looks at the subject of animals from the perspective of the visual arts, asking the fundamental question about what an animal is and whether humans can be friends with animals. Participating artists critically examine the attitudes of 鈥榟uman exceptionalism鈥�, stemming from the belief that animals do not un颅derstand the concept of death or have a sense of future.
Can we, and under what circumstances, adopt an animal perspective?
