THE ANIMAL THAT KNEW What if

THE ANIMAL THAT KNEW

What if the prey remembers every moment that came before the attack?

Inspired by Antoine-Louis Barye’s Tiger Surprising an Antelope from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I reimagined the sculpture as a meditation on memory and instinct. The tiger exists in one moment, while faint photographic traces of the antelope appear behind it, suggesting the memories of the moments that came before.

I kept the original sculpture physically intact and changed its meaning through time: the bronze becomes a record of what the prey remembers.

Built and explored in FLORA.
