Discover the work of national and international contemporary photographers in an extraordinary setting: on the walls of houses, in flowering gardens and along the narrow streets. Various photographic installations throughout the city of Clervaux transform it into an open-air gallery.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The history of zoos in Europe began with the development of lifelike concrete constructions around the cages, particularly from 1907 in Hamburg by Carl Hagenbeck. With the introduction of new materials such as iron mesh and shotcrete, cage grids were gradually replaced by rock-shaped cement backdrops to give the impression of freedom. These constructions, inspired by famous mountains such as the Dolomites and the Matterhorn, feed the fantasy of the wilderness and combine the vegetal with the functional.
Examining these artificial landscapes raises questions about our relationship with nature. Historical archives and contemporary photographs show how ‘naturalness’ is recreated in artificial environments to reflect our complex relationship with wilderness. The zoo, like parks or gardens, represents an enclosure in which a static notion of eternity is enclosed - a permanent, history-less and timeless nature. The animals are replaced after their death, and the perfect, imperishable nature remains.
