AQUARIA Exhibition / 2050+

Curatorial Text by Angela Rui. After cats and dogs, fish are now the third most popular type of pet, but once removed from their natural habitat, transported around the world, and sold as domestic companions, their lives start to depend entirely on the object that contains them: a glass box designed to host living creatures unable to survive outside it. Therefore giving rise to an animal-object coupling: a self-contained world and a techno-natural assemblage, all neatly integrated into our home furnishings.
