The cameras mounted on their heads record everything that is going on around them. Visitors gaze at the animals in this strange zoo, but the animals also look back at the visitors. The hierarchical relationship between man and animal played out in a typical zoo is turned on its head, calling into question man’s mastery over nature."},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"Twee levensgrote giraffen van aluminium, bedekt met giraffenvel en camouflagepakken, observeren vanuit hun hoge uitkijkpost de omgeving. De camera’s die op hun koppen gemonteerd zijn, registreren alles wat er rond hen gebeurt. Als bezoeker kijk je naar de dieren in deze vreemde zoo, maar zij kijken ook naar de bezoeker. De hiërarchische verhouding tussen mens en dier, zoals gepropageerd in een gewone dierentuin, wordt op zijn kop gezet. De heerschappij van de mens over de natuur wordt in vraag gesteld.

Si, dans ce zoo étrange, le spectateur regarde les animaux, ces créatures tiennent à leur tour le spectateur à l’œil.
