KASPER BOSMANS: THE FUZZY GAZE
Part of EMΣΤ’s wider exhibition Why Look at Animals?, Kasper Bosmans’ The Fuzzy Gaze is a striking mural commission that unpacks the ever-shifting role of animals in human life — from myth and ritual to commodification and spectacle.
Through a richly detailed, almost processional composition, Bosmans brings together frogs, horses, teddy bears, and feline eyes in scenes that flicker between circus, zoo, and domestic space. The result is both playful and unsettling — a sharp-eyed reflection on how we stylise, contain, and project meaning onto animals.
Rooted in folklore and visual history, and threaded with a queer sensibility, The Fuzzy Gaze invites us to reconsider the human gaze — and what it means to be seen in return.
One of several exhibitions in Athens right now grappling with how we relate to animals, it’s a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary art, mythology, or the politics of vision.
