The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowherein a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal's gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond.
John BergerWe never look at just one thing; we are always looking at the relation between things and ourselves.
John BergerTo be naked is to be oneself. To be nude is to be seen naked by others and yet not recognised for oneself.
