At The Zoo –The violence and the scenery, is a project of drawings based on photographs taken at some of the oldest zoo’s in Europe (Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Antwerpen, Copenhagen). The drawings shown here represents an ongoing project of drawings and sculpture depicting art and ornaments inside the walls of the zoo telling the tale of the struggle between man and nature. We can see Saint Francis of Assisi’s taming of the birds, the fight between the savage and the panther and erotic fantasies about the untameable woman. The story being told is an old tale of racism, sexism and of man's endless desire for domination.
