A small, family-run industrial company that thrived for decades until a terrible arson burned the facility to the ground and forced the business to close. Decades later, a box of photographs saved from the fire was retrieved by the artist in a Swiss antique shop, where it had ended up. But in reality, none of this is true. Although it could be.

The photographic series Docile Flesh, still in its very first premises, explores a true story of an unusual crime committed by a man obsessed with birds since childhood. His fascination led him to steal feathers from Natural History Museums across three countries over ten years, accumulating 17,250 feathers from 167 species. Disguising himself as a knowledgeable ornithologist, he befriended museum staff to gain access to archives, where he plucked feathers for his private collection. His theft went unnoticed for years, resulting in significant scientific and financial losses.
The project delves into the implications of this crime, examining our (european) historical and cultural relationship with nature and animals. Taxidermy, the art of preserving animals for display, serves as a critical lens for this investigation, highlighting the human obsessions with capturing and studying nature. The series employs photojournalism, forensic photography, and reenactment to explore themes of representation, truth, and the entanglements of science and imperialism. It also critiques the role of Natural History Museums as institutions preserving knowledge and cultural values.
