Performance artist Mike Mullins spent twenty days in a cage at Taronga Park Zoo in Sydney as the official Homo sapiens exhibit. He lived in the cage twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for twenty days. Mike\u2019s concept was to present the human animal in the context of a zoo to raise a number of issues about the human condition. The zoo administration was a key player in the presentation and the official \u2018animal signage\u2019 on the cage said it all: \n \u201cThe human capacity to change the environment makes Homo sapiens the most dangerous animal in the world\u201d. How did it feel? Is it right to exhibit a human in a zoo? Are humans animals? Is it art? Filmed, directed and edited by Peter Flynn, the archival footage is available for the first time. The Human Exhibit is a unique insight into the attitudes of people in the 1980\u2019s and it's a revealing record of a performance art event that became international news.
