Description
Art and Animals by Giovanni Aloi explores the presence of animals in contemporary art, examining the concepts that inform this emerging practice. From live animal exhibitions to taxidermy and interspecies communication, Aloi delves into the innovative visual representations that feature animals in modern art. This book challenges traditional notions of identity, 'otherness' and civilization by investigating the role animals have played in our cultural development. With a range of thought-provoking examples, Art and Animals sheds light on the significance of animals in the visual arts today. By examining the intersection of humans and animals in contemporary art, Aloi provides insight into the complex relationships between species and culture.
