ZOO

May 2013
Ana González Room,
Mapocho Station Cultural Center
Santiago, Chile

Collecting Darwin's observations from his travel log to Tierra del Fuego, ZOO replicates the experience of "human zoos."

A group of scientists has found the last members of an ethnic group they thought was extinct. They are obsessed with preserving them. However, with a race whose survival method is not fighting—as we usually understand in a more Darwinian model of evolution—but rather extinction understood as a form of adaptation, the idea of conservation becomes not only a paradox, but a nightmare.
