Animals Decoration in Zoo

his is a concept story about The Zoo, freedom or a jail? The animals in the zoo were like a Decoration, just there are Breathing. So I took one animal decoration of picture inside the zoo and took one alive animal living in the zoo.

「動物園裡頭的每一隻動物，其實跟擺設沒有兩樣，只是它們是活著呼吸著的。」
這是一系列對動物園看法的表達創作，任何一種動物都和人類一樣，呼吸著同樣的空氣，
它們也是有生命也有感情的官感認知，只是它們不能講話。
而當中對動物園存在的爭議性一直存在著，到底活著的動物是否動物園裡的一種擺設或裝置呢？

從二百年前，動物園由英國開始成立以來，全球各地慢慢地也在建立起大大小小不同的動物園，目的是以「保育和教育」為由而成立。圈養、研究、學術等利用野生動物的過去已經有一段長時間。除了娛樂功能之外，保育和教育等研究是動物園最常拿來自我存在合理化的理由。在各功能被實際檢視之前，目前動物園界面臨最大的挑戰是圈養野生動物福祉普遍低落，仍然需要不斷從野外捕捉動物以維持展示與品質的保育矛盾。對於動物園的存在能否被合理化，而動物園存在的唯一理由必須透過動物園教育以提高保育成果與民眾意識，努力地維持和執行。

Asian Elephant

‍

African elephant societies are arranged around family units. Each family unit is made up of around ten closely related females and their calves and is led by an older female known as the matriarch. When separate family units bond, they form kinship or bond groups. After puberty, male elephants tend to form close alliances with other males.
