If I hadn’t been told otherwise, I would never have realised that animals aren’t people’ – wrote Jacek Kusz in the introduction to his photography series 'Zoo'. During his childhood, he would regularly escape from lessons and hide in a nearby zoo. The Wrocław artist returned to the cages after 20 years, this time with a camera. He created psychological portraits of animals, primarily monkeys, for 7 years. For his photographs of the Wrocław Zoo Kusz won first place in the 2012 Sony World Photography Awards in the nature category.
