The representation of animals in contemporary art: what it reveals and what it teaches us
Zask, Joëlle
The representation of animals in contemporary art: what it reveals and what it teaches us - 2022.
59
The dominant representations of animals may vary between two poles: at one end are animals that are despised, exploited, objectified, tortured, exterminated, while at the other, there are animals celebrated as if all living species belonged to the same large family. Contemporary art does not always escape this general architecture. However, I suggest a third way, which would be more educational than the other two.
