Looking for the bunnies
Emerging art collective Barabli present their visual essay titled “Looking for the bunnies”. The collective examines the corrosion, reconstruction and preservation of Santorini’s identity by drawing an analogy between the island of Dr. Moreau, as presented in the work of H. G. Wells, and Santorini’s own identity.
The narrative of “Looking for the bunnies” revolves around an analogy between Santorini’s (Thira) identity and Dr. Moreau’s island. The corrosion of Thira’s identity is emphasized as a result of the influx of tourists during the summer months, while its reclamation process, which begins at the end of the tourist season and is ongoing throughout the rest of the year, is also highlighted.
International Rabbit Day is observed on September 24, 2016. The depiction of bunnies generates wider connotations which further support the regeneration process. Since antiquity, bunnies have been closely associated with prosperity, proliferation and rejuvenation. At the same time, the depiction of bunnies contributes to the promotion of the need for environmental preservation and conservation.
