Marjolijn De Wit's 'Other Parts of the Scene' at OTTO ZOO, Milan

On November 13, 2019, the OTTO ZOO gallery in Milan unveiled 'Other Parts of the Scene,' an exhibition by Dutch artist Marjolijn De Wit, who was born in 1979 in Bennekom. A preview took place on November 9. Established in 2008, the gallery emphasizes emerging talent. Annika Pettini, the artistic director, mentioned that the installation was developed in collaboration with De Wit, who designed a digital model akin to a puppet theater. The exhibition reflects two decades of research on 'what the people leave behind,' addressing themes of landscape, artificial barriers, and 'future archaeology.' De Wit critiques humanity's impact on nature, employing mixed media to examine how future generations might document human history, emphasizing the relationship between humans and nature and the anthropocentric fallacy.
