The Wolf Talks continues

From 12 to 17 October 2021, the Wolf Talks exhibition will be in the Hollar Gallery in Prague.

The Wolf Talks exhibition is an arts-based research project, created by Nico Carpentier, that combines photography and sound art to analyse and rethink the power dynamics of the discursive-material relationships between human and non-human animals.

The series of 12 photographs combines wolf portraits, cat-face filters and super-imposed theoretical questions. Next to each photograph is a QR code, which allows the visitor to access a Wolf Talk (in English and in Czech), in which the wolf is heard to address some key issues related to the theoretical question on their photograph. Deeply conscious of all contradictions related to humans speaking on behalf of animals, this exhibition experiments with a lupocentric position to induce empathy and respect.

Nico Carpentier is Extraordinary Professor at Charles University in Prague and the leader for Work Package 5, Media and arts
