Zebra 1
Penitentiary Wriezen
A small, oval, fenced-in island of grass has been set into the footpath between the gate and the
visitor’s area of Penitentiary Wriezen. A naturalistically painted bronze sculpture of a miniature
zebra is on the patch of grass. The zebra, a herd animal normally gregarious in the wild, is placed
in isolation here in its own enclosure. The contextualization of prison as a site opens up new ways
of viewing the sculpture.
