Marina Caneve. On the ground among the animals

Exhibition design and graphic design for Marina Caneve. On the ground among the animals exhibition at FMAV – Fondazione Modena Arti Visive, from 6 June 2024 to 7 October 2024, curated by Daniele De Luigi. The project is supported by Italian Council, Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea – Ministero della Cultura.

“On the ground among the animals is a research based artistic project exploring the possibility of a “visual ecocriticism”. With On the Ground among the Animals, Marina Caneve explores the ambiguities inherent in the dominating role played by human beings over nature and the tensions that emerge from their relationship with other animals. The artist takes her cue from an analytical study of the Natura 2000 project, the network of ecological corridors to preserve biodiversity promoted by the European Union. Caneve creates a visual link between the infrastructures connecting the wild animals, the videos generated by the monitoring systems and the nature reserve landscapes. She touches on key themes such as migration and freedom of movement, non-human animal rights, ecosystem conservation and ultimately the possibility of rethinking human beings’ role in the world.” [from marinacaneve.com]
