Ex Guinea pig animals are rescued from labs and became characters of "Alice in Wonderland" in magical and critical pictures. It challenges the way we deal with animals in art, politics and science, reality, imagination and beyond.
"Rabbits, mice, rats and guinea pigs rescued from labs or cases of mistreatment by Italian charity La Collina dei Conigli ONLUS have become magical models for a photo-shoot inspired by the famous novel “Alice in Wonderland".
This
was the special idea of volunteer Attilia Conti to celebrate the first 10 years
of the charity’s operation. Why Alice? Because both the novel and this charity
“started with a White Rabbit.”
I took
these pictures at the rescue center in Monza, near Milan, during the first
weekend of September with help from volunteers Attilia, Eleonora and Fulvio.
I’m not a professional photographer, but photography is my greatest passion and
I’m always available to volunteer for animal shelters with my camera!
Mice
were the most cooperative models, while guinea pigs were the laziest (they
stayed still only with food present). Rats were the most attractive, and
rabbits… were the most disapproving. Some of the pictures were used in the
charity’s 2015 calendar, which helps raise funds for hundreds and hundreds of
rescued animal.”

"Giuseppe
Rossi was rescued by the Italian charity together with dozens of other mice
after their lab finished testing. If La Collina dei Conigli had not saved them,
they would have been put to sleep."

"Pet rabbit Nilo was found abandoned, with rear
legs paralyzed. Luckily, appropriate care and rehabilitation allowed him to
stand and jump again."

"Born in the 80s, vegan,
animal lover, wannabe photographer and more optimist than I could ever admit. I
love poppies too!"
