On 1st August, 2008, Mireia C. Saladrigues invited 100 visitors to observe 5 species of animals – white-handed gibbon, icebear, marten, owl and liger – in the Zoo of Novosibirsk. The moment was special – the moon was going to eclipse the sun during a hot Siperian summer day. Here are the 85 of the observations of the participants, written on Zoolar Eclipse postcards and returned after the eclipse.
The drawnings and texts written by artist have been compilated into a binded book, available here. The book and the drawnings were exhibited for the first time in Kiasma Mediatheque during the spring 2009.
