Description
The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, a former German colony, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. Bernhard Grimzek (*1909-87), a german zoologist and television star, campaigned for it with the documentary "Serengeti shall not die“(1959). In the Installation, figures meet the landscapes from the documentary (original excerpts). Their costumes reference Safari, Ranger, and "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever"(2022). The Wakanda costumes, in turn, associate with the Maasai who comb for their land until today. Grzimek's zebra airplane stands today as a promotional decorative replica in the Zurich Zoo.
