While I have always been a believer in Darwinian theory, my encounter with INANIMUS (Alberto Michelon) and his work truly has surprised me. His primordial bestiary has drawn new horizons in front of my eyes. It is an Eden before humans, before Adam and Eve. An Eden populated by animals that have not sinned, as INANIMUS does not limit himself to reproduce what was or what we know. He goes beyond that and transfigures it.
The observer does not see a naturalistic or iconographic scene of an animal, which is what we often encounter in museums, but rather an analysis, a much larger and more complex idea. Firstly, he obliges us to decode what we are observing and then try to go beyond what appears to be only a provocation. Then, he offers us many things to reflect on, starting with the relationship we now have with the animal world.
I have begun to explore the world of INANIMUS, which appears to be very stimulating.
