Liselotte Höhs: animal magnetism

Liselotte Höhs: animal magnetism From 1st to 30th September 2011, the Marciana National Library organizes in his Sale Monumentali a solo exhibition of the artist Liselotte Höhs whose title is “animal magnetism”. Liselotte Höhs, Viennese by birth but Venetian by vocation, whose life and work are deeply intertwined with this amphibious city, will present her new creations, textile mosaics.

It’s no coincidence that she fell in love with Venice, the city which has spontaneously grown in the shape of a fish.
An innate love between Venice and her, the same affection that she feels towards the animals who steadly fill up her creations.

The concept of animal magnetism refers to a non-anthropocentric world view, which considers animals not as subordinates but as models. This is the reason we use to say "brave like a lion", "tame like a dog", "eyes like a hawk".

In this major exhibition, including mostly new works, Liselotte Höhs shows her inner empathy with the animal world by using natural materials for her works of art: sheep wool carpets knotted by Tibetan craftsmen in India, escaped from persecutions, who share the same world view of Liselotte, a non-anthropocentric view respectful towards any kind of living beings.

The exhibition is included in the European Heritage Days 2011 (September 24 and 25).
