A spokesperson says---
"...In Vivarium, Isabelle du Toit creates an imagined world in which animals, insects, and other living creatures become stand-ins for larger questions about difference, belonging, vulnerability, and coexistence. The exhibition takes its title from the Latin vivus, meaning “alive,” and from the enclosed environments designed to sustain and observe livingthings. For du Toit, the vivarium becomes both a metaphor and a point of departure: a contained world in which diverse forms of life exist alongside one another, each dependent on conditions that can be easily altered or disrupted..."
