De problemen beginnen als bezoekster Yvonne de Horde uit Zoetermeer bij het gorillaeiland aankomt. Ze komt daar “bijna dagelijks”, want Bokito is “haar lieveling”, zegt ze twee dagen later in de Telegraaf: ''“Sinds hij in Blijdorp zit, maak ik contact met hem. Als ik mijn hand op het glas legde, deed hij hetzelfde. Als ik naar hem lachte, lachte hij terug.”''

De Zoo van Antwerpen heeft een van haar vaste bezoekers in een brief gevraagd om het contact met chimpansee Chita te beperken. Adie Timmermans betreurt het ‘contactverbod’, zo getuigt ze aan onze krant. ''“Dat beest houdt van mij en ik van hem. Ik heb niets anders meer, waarom nemen ze me dat af?”''

Na het stadionverbod is er nu ook het dierentuinverbod. Een man uit Putte is niet langer welkom in de Zoo en Planckendael. Zijn abonnement is eenzijdig opgezegd, omdat hij de verzorgers herhaaldelijk beledigd zou hebben. Na de dood van drie olifanten ging het van kwaad naar erger. "Ik wilde alleen een beter leven voor die dieren."

There's Something Behind Glass

Short film for the EYE RESEARCH Lab

Desiring someone/somebody/something, but knowing there is a certain ‘wall’ between you and the object of desire.

And also enjoying this element vice versa, being visible and being the element of desire.

And what happens when that wall falls away?

Are the fascination and the fantasy underneath sometimes better than reality itself?
