For the occasion of Zurich Art Weekend 2025, on June 14 and June 15, I led a curated guided tour titled The Captured Animal: Encounter at the ETH Bildarchiv in collaboration with Nicole Graf. Through this tour, international participants were invited to reflect on how animals have been represented, classified, instrumentalized, and looked at within different cultural, scientific, and colonial frameworks. The encounter unfolded in four thematic acts, moving from laboratory spaces to zoos, from taxidermized displays to moments of direct visual contact between human and animal.
