In order to capture the typical landscape they generalize it, creating a fake one. The sky is either too bright or too watery and seems already dusty the moment it is painted. A caretaker is vacuuming the snowy ground beneath the feet of a buffalo while other animals become surrealistic ghosts in their plastic wraps. The habitats are alienated from real life and preserved in order to illustrate nature, a contradiction that creates a \u201cmorte vita\u201d, a dead life.<\/p>\n<p>Emese Krun\u00e1k-Hajagos<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>by Emese Krun\u00e1k-Hajagos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bau-Xi Photo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you ever wanted to know what is happening in the rooms marked Closed for visitors in the museums?
