Since 1931, the se 4. in October, on the day of the animal saint St. Nicholas. St. Francis Of Assisi celebrates World Animal Day. The original purpose was to raise public awareness of endangered animal species, but nowadays this day is dedicated to all animals.

Throughout history, animals are an important part of human life, and their role can also be traced through 20 photos. century. The exhibition shows a fragment of the view of animals over time. The main focus of predominantly documentary photography is on events in which people play the main role. Most of the time, animals do not appear in the central motif of photographers. Although the main interest is more rarely focused on animals, we still perceive that they most often play an important role as anonymous participants.

The exhibition was created with the support of the Ministry of culture of the Republic of Slovenia.

Od leta 1931 se 4. oktobra, na dan svetnika živali sv. Frančiška Asiškega, obeležuje svetovni dan živali. Prvotni namen je bil ozaveščanje javnosti o ogroženih živalskih vrstah, dandanes pa je ta dan posvečen vsem živalim.

Skozi zgodovino so živali pomemben del človekovega življenja, njihovi vlogi pa lahko sledimo tudi skozi fotografije 20. stoletja. Z razstavo prikazujemo drobec pogleda na živali skozi čas. Glavni fokus pretežno dokumentarnih fotografij je na dogodkih, na katerih imajo glavno vlogo ljudje. Živali največkrat ne nastopajo v osrednjem motivu fotografov. Čeprav je bolj redko usmerjeno glavno zanimanje na živali, pa vendarle zaznamo, da imajo največkrat kot anonimni udeleženci pomembno vlogo.

Razstava je nastala s podporo Ministrstva za kulturo Republike Slovenije.
