An eight meter tall sculpture with the same motif and in colors is mounted at the entry of the Hamburg zoo "Hagenbeck's Tierpark. [SM].
"If there's something that bugs me, confuses me, I always have the proverb "You only see what you know" in mind. Or (from Goethe): "The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes." In this sense I believe it to be a good approach to lure the observer with something apparently familiar and to stir confusion with strangeness, by adding breaks, thus prompting a kind of cognitive effort.“
