Beschreibung
The book „EX-SITU / IN-SITU“ features artworks exploring the tension between biodiversity and endangered life forms in the Anthropocene, which is also aptly referred to as the Capitalocene. Influences from multispecies discourses, other-than-human perspectives on living beings, and the changing relationship to living beings in intellectual history and their appearances in mythologies of different cultural areas play a role. The book documents works by 19 artists that were presented in two exhibitions – at the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo (EX-SITU) and at < rotor > Centre for Contemporary Art in Graz (IN-SITU). Texts by two biologists describe the endangered animals Bosnian Alpine newt and greater horseshoe bat and the human efforts to save them. The exhibitions in Sarajevo and Graz were dedicated to these animals, and several works of art refer to them.
