Pitch
* Wisents are European bisons that disappeared from Eurasia at the end of the twenties because of cultivation of their habitats and hunting them into extinction. In recent years, a handful wisents have been reintroduced in European National Parks and large-scale forests. The goal of this effort is coexistence between humans and wisents in countryside regions. But sympathizers and critics fight: The animals travel beyond manmade borders, eat the bard of tress from private properties and frighten joggers and der dogs with their appearance.
My work refers to the dilemma of a release effort. I attempt to create a questionable utopia of a shared habitat through models and drawings.
