According to The Guardian artist and former animal keeper Tracey Lee has been collecting animal poo in various forms for 20 years. The exhibition “The origin of the faeces: Poo at the zoo” shows, among other things, square bat poo, zebra poo in the same shape and size as oysters and the shiny chocolate raisin-like feces left behind by the giraffe okapi.
Lee himself compares the aesthetics of animal poo to what is usually shown on TV baking shows.
— They look like something from “All England Bakes”, she says.
The picky eater who nevertheless wants to visit Fusebox in London, where the exhibition is shown, may be reassured by the fact that the excrement has been treated so that it is now completely odorless and “hygienic”.
