• W324149032 abstract "In memory of Dr. Jordi Sabater Pi In the year 2006, I began an artistic project, Flota Nfumu, addressing questions of cultural memory, and more specifically the history and myth of the albino gorilla from Equatorial Guinea that had come be christened as Snowflake: de Nieve in casteUano, de Neu in catalan, and Nfumu in fang. I had two starting points for my investigation: the Barcelona Zoo, where Snowflake had been held captive for over forty years, and the Sabater Pi Collection, housed in the Barcelona Science Park. Snowflake was brought the Barcelona Zoo in 1966, and he remained in his habitat until his death in 2003. I was interested in memories, souvenirs, anecdotes, drawings, photographs, and other visual records of his life. The Education Department and the Research Unit from the Barcelona Zoo explained me that the Copito file had not yet been archived and was therefore not accessible. The only information they could provide when I first arrived was a commercial DVD on Snowflake's life titled, in Catalan, EIs nens dibuixen en Floquet (Children's drawings of Snowflake) . Additional information could be found at the Gorilla Space, a visitor interpretation center open the public. The permanent exhibition at the Gorilla Space was built and inaugurated in 2003, and it explained Snowflake's history as well as the life, natural habitats, and behavioral patterns of lowland gorillas. It was an attractive, well- documented multi-media center aiming to inform the visitors about the world of gorillas, a species that shares around 98% of its DNA with humans, and which is in imminent danger of disappearing.1 In the last months of Snowflake's life, the Barcelona Zoo orchestrated a publicity campaign and paid homage its most famous resident. As part of this homage, children were entitled a free entrance ticket the zoo in exchange for a drawing dedicated the albino gorilla. The zoo had not kept the original drawings; both the physical collection per se and traces of identity of the child artists were lost and erased from the archives. However, in a small but significant media shift, digital versions had been archived in the form of the DVD, Els nens dibuixen en Floquet, which contains a rather repetitive slideshow of the drawings, accompanied by the sound of African percussion. As a visual artist, I was curious consider what new perspectives this collection of children's drawings might provide on several issues: the relation between Barcelona and the albino gorilla, the human-animal relations in a Western setting, and the perceptions of zoological institutes in the twenty-first century - in sum, questions of nature and conservation. It was important for me, too, rethink the significance of the choice of a digital (rather than a material) archive by the zoo. The Sabater Pi Collection, housed at the University of Barcelona, includes among its holdings a very large collection of books, journals, drawings, and watercolors of fauna and flora, with some particularly valuable and exclusive material relating primates and - above all - extensive research relating Snowflake.2 Born in Barcelona, Jordi Sabater Pi (1922-2009) had worked in Equatorial Guinea from 1940 until 1969, and from 1959 onwards he led the Centro Ikunde in Bata, an adaptation and acclimatization station for animals and plants being sent the botanical garden and the zoo in Barcelona. Jordi Sabater Pi purchased the baby gorilla in 1966 from the farmer Benito Manie, who had called the gorilla Nfumu, which means White in Esangui Fang. This name was still being used when the gorilla arrived in the Barcelona zoo, although - Respite Sabater Pi's letters of protestation - it was soon replaced by de Nieve. Ever since his installation in the Barcelona zoo, Snowflake became one of the most photographed animals in the world: the National Geographic ran a story in March 1967 with the headline Snowflake, the Animal Kingdom's Newest Celebrity, and the photographic mania soon swept up Life, Paris-Match, The New York Times, Der Spiegel, and other periodicals. …" @default.
