Liselotte Höhs: animal magnetism

It’s no coincidence that she fell in love with Venice, the city which has spontaneously grown in the shape of a fish.
An innate love between Venice and her, the same affection that she feels towards the animals who steadly fill up her creations.

The concept of animal magnetism refers to a non-anthropocentric world view, which considers animals not as subordinates but as models. This is the reason we use to say "brave like a lion", "tame like a dog", "eyes like a hawk".

In this major exhibition, including mostly new works, Liselotte Höhs shows her inner empathy with the animal world by using natural materials for her works of art: sheep wool carpets knotted by Tibetan craftsmen in India, escaped from persecutions, who share the same world view of Liselotte, a non-anthropocentric view respectful towards any kind of living beings.

The exhibition is included in the European Heritage Days 2011 (September 24 and 25).
