Magenta presents Mink Festival, an exhibition inspired by the zoo of the pandemic:
December 21, 2020 - March 21, 2021
The animal in the pandemic, the animal and the pandemic.
The animal as a cause of the pandemic_bats and other animals packed and sold in markets
The animal as a pet saviour _ the dog as an extension, a passport for exit during the lockdowns
The animal as a postponed accessory hecatomb_ million minks killed, just in case they may have transmitted a mutation of the virus to humans
Humans care for their dead. The minks are also our dead, not just the human victims of the pandemic.
Has the pandemic trauma rendered us indifferent, or are we embodying the trauma, obtaining the power of our coronavirus enemy by performing a mass animal killing?
