The artists’ book ‘Gehege’ (Enclosure) contains photographs from the library of the Zurich Zoo. The selection shows zoo enclosures found in various Western metropolises such as London, Paris, Berlin, and Madrid since 1945. The pictures were taken by staff of the Zurich Zoo, who for research purposes travelled to other cities to document and understand the architecture of displaying animals kept in captivity. The enclosures are all photographed in such a way that the animals themselves seem to have vanished entirely. Swiss writer Michelle Steinbeck contributes an imaginative piece to the book, titled “The Zoo of the Future”.
