SAD CHIMP (AN ODE TO JANE GOODALL)

Year: 2025
Size: 40 x 66 x 8 cm / 15.7 x 26 x 3.1 in

SAD CHIMP is a tribute to the iconic primatologist Jane Goodall, whose lifelong work profoundly changed the relationship between humans and animals. At the center of the piece is the chimpanzee from the famous video in which Goodall embraces him. In this interpretation, the chimp sits alone on a bright red cage, a figure both poignant and unsettling. On the cage is the text: “WHO YA GONNA HUG NOW…”, a direct and confronting question that marks Goodall’s loss and underscores the emptiness left by her absence in the world of animals and their protectors.

SAD CHIMP ist eine Hommage an die ikonische Primatologin Jane Goodall, deren lebenslange Arbeit die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Tier tiefgreifend verändert hat. Im Mittelpunkt des Werkes steht der Schimpanse aus dem berühmten Video, in dem Goodall ihn umarmt. In dieser Interpretation sitzt der Schimpanse allein auf einem leuchtend roten Käfig – eine Figur, die zugleich bewegend und verstörend wirkt. Auf dem Käfig steht der Text: “WHO YA GONNA HUG NOW…”, eine direkte und provokante Frage, die Goodalls Verlust markiert und die Leere betont, die ihre Abwesenheit in der Welt der Tiere und ihrer Beschützer hinterlässt.

SAD CHIMP is een eerbetoon aan de iconische primatoloog Jane Goodall, wier levenslange werk de relatie tussen mens en dier diepgaand heeft veranderd. In het midden van het kunstwerk zit de chimpansee uit de beroemde video waarin Goodall hem omhelst. In deze interpretatie zit de chimpansee alleen op een felrode kooi — een beeld dat zowel ontroerend als verontrustend is. Op de kooi staat de tekst: “WHO YA GONNA HUG NOW…”, een directe en confronterende vraag die Goodalls verlies markeert en de leegte benadrukt die haar afwezigheid heeft achtergelaten in de wereld van dieren en hun beschermers.

SAD CHIMP est un hommage à la primatologue emblématique Jane Goodall, dont le travail tout au long de sa vie a profondément changé la relation entre les humains et les animaux. Au centre de l’œuvre se trouve le chimpanzé de la célèbre vidéo où Goodall le serre dans ses bras. Dans cette interprétation, le chimpanzé est assis seul sur une cage rouge éclatante, une figure à la fois poignante et troublante. Sur la cage, on peut lire : “WHO YA GONNA HUG NOW…”, une question directe et percutante qui marque la perte de Goodall et souligne le vide laissé par son absence dans le monde des animaux et de leurs défenseurs.

SAD CHIMP es un tributo a la icónica primatóloga Jane Goodall, cuyo trabajo de toda una vida cambió profundamente la relación entre los humanos y los animales. En el centro de la pieza está el chimpancé del famoso video en el que Goodall lo abraza. En esta interpretación, el chimpancé se sienta solo sobre una jaula roja brillante, una figura a la vez conmovedora e inquietante. En la jaula se lee el texto: “WHO YA GONNA HUG NOW…”, una pregunta directa y desafiante que marca la pérdida de Goodall y subraya el vacío dejado por su ausencia en el mundo de los animales y sus protectores.

SAD CHIMP è un tributo all’iconica primatologa Jane Goodall, il cui lavoro lungo una vita ha cambiato profondamente il rapporto tra esseri umani e animali.
Al centro dell’opera si trova lo scimpanzé del famoso video in cui la Goodall lo abbraccia. In questa interpretazione, lo scimpanzé siede da solo su una gabbia rosso brillante, una figura al tempo stesso toccante e inquietante.
Sulla gabbia si legge la scritta: “WHO YA GONNA HUG NOW…”, una domanda diretta e provocatoria che sottolinea la perdita della Goodall e il vuoto lasciato dalla sua assenza nel mondo degli animali e dei loro difensori.
