EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 8th of July 1971 at Twycross Zoo in Warwickshire. Bongo, a magnificent west African lowland gorilla, takes center stage as he sits attentively in front of a brand new luxury enclosure television. The BBC test-card illuminates the screen with vibrant colors, capturing Bongo's curiosity and intelligence. Sharing his lavish accommodation with another gorilla named Joe, Bongo appears engrossed in the mesmerizing world unfolding before him. This snapshot by Ian Showell allows us to witness a rare moment where an animal interacts with modern technology. The image showcases not only the beauty and strength of these incredible creatures but also highlights their vulnerability as endangered species. As we observe Bongo watching TV, it serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve these majestic animals for future generations. The composition is masterfully captured in landscape format, emphasizing both the size of the television set compared to Bongo's imposing figure and his peaceful demeanor within his indoor sanctuary. With no people present, we can fully appreciate the solitude that accompanies captivity. This archival photograph transports us back to an era when even animals were captivated by media content. It symbolizes our fascination with nature while acknowledging how technology has become intertwined with our lives – even reaching unexpected corners such as this luxurious enclosure at Twycross Zoo.
