About "The symbiosis between humans and animals"

by Saskia Nelissen

About the artwork

In a bathroom with old-fashioned green tiles stands a curious creature: it has the head of an ostrich, the body of a human in a dress, and the long legs of a flamingo. On one leg a trainer, the other a trainer is inhabited by a desert rat. The animal appears to be looking straight into the mirror, but what we see is not a reflection - the animal is nl standing with its back to the mirror so both the animal and its reflection show the front. A subtle play of optical deception that sows confusion.

The work evokes a world where boundaries between humans and animals blur. The absurdity feels recognisable: in an age when pets wear clothes, are driven around in chariots and are given almost human roles, this hybrid figure is perhaps less strange than it seems at first sight after all.

"The symbiosis between humans and animals" is a depiction of wonder, but also of alienation. Why do we want to humanise animals? Where does the animal end, and where does the human begin? And who is actually watching whom here?

The work invites questions rather than answers. Perhaps that is exactly the intention
