Zoos expose a tension between the natural and the artificial. Animals are confined in environments that contain manufacturated and natural elements controlled by men. Branches, leaves and sand are mixed with the paint from the sceneries. Cement coexists with vegetation. This attempt to recreate wildlife in an urban environment produces a kind of artificial nature that hangs in a no man’s land.
