When they say that the eyes don't lie, they mean people. But the Spanish photographer Oscar Ciutat convinced that the eyes of animals are just as eloquent, and all without exception: wild, domestic, predators or vegetarians. Eyes are the mirror of the soul, and what is reflected in the mirrors of those animals that are imprisoned in the cages of the zoo? The answer to this question is contained in the photo project Caged Oscar Ciutat. A couple of years ago, the photographer visited the zoo of his native Barcelona in order to look into the eyes of animals in cages. And what he saw there, he was shocked. In hippos and deer, elephants and rhinos, tapirs and donkeys, the eyes expressed the same sadness. Bottomless, boundless, immeasurable …
A kind of photo shoot Caged - it is not all animals as a whole, but only the most "talking" part of them - the eyes. Has anyone thought about how captive animals feel? Many will say that animals are stupid and if they were born in captivity, they will not survive in the wild. Perhaps so … But the longing for freedom and a distant homeland, they probably absorbed with the milk of their mother, and that - with the milk of her mother, who was still free and lived far from here, in the mountains, forests or hot sands.
A sad but informative project will make many people think, if not all. Other art works of the photographer can be found on his website.
