Steve McCurry ǀ Animals

16 December 2018 - 31 March 2019

Animals are the protagonists of sixty iconic photographs, illustrating the myriad everyday life stories binding animals and humans.

This collective portrayal of moments of interaction touches upon the themes of the labour and support that animals offer man, the consequence of human actions on fauna and wildlife at a local and global level, and the affection that people shower on their “pets”, whatever they may be.

The roots of the Animals project began in 1992, when photographer Steve McCurry documented the devastating environmental impacts of the Gulf War. In that journey, McCurry captured some of his most iconic images, including some of camels in the burning oil fields and migratory birds drenched in oil. This work earned him a prestigious World Press Photo Award.

McCurry takes us on a global journey to discover proximity to the animal world by focusing on emotional bonds and the consequences of human involvement to the environment. While his images are timeless, he seems to feel nostalgia for a world in constant and dangerous transformation that he can only illustrate.
“‘Animals’ invites us to reflect on the fact that we are not alone in this world among all the living creatures around us”, explains curator Biba Giacchetti. “Most importantly, this exhibition leaves visitors with the message that while human beings and animals share the same land, it is we humans which are the ones with the power to preserve the planet.”
