Seeing Animals / Dieren Zien

Description

Clemens Driessen, philosopher and cultural geographer at Wageningen University, studies the place of animals in our more-than-human culture. Here he describes how Janis Rafa portrays animals in a way that resonates with the work of the painter Paulus Potter, creating scenes that make animals the central characters animating our contemporary landscapes. These confront us with the limitations of both animal and human experience in spaces that were built to prevent encounters.
