In 1913 in Leipzig, during a foggy night, a cage of lions from a circus caravan was hit by a trolley. Eight lions escaped and wandered into the streets. Artist Walton Ford interprets this event here, saying, “I wanted a decidedly undramatic moment, to show the curiosity and timid confusion of these lost lionesses, which don’t know where to go or what to do, and don’t know what they’re seeing. I imagined one of the hats that had been left behind: the lions approach it like a strange object, like a turtle or something.”

‘‘Representation Véritable’’ (2015), by Walton Ford.
PARIS — Sometime during the summer of 1764 in the Haute-Loire region of France, a wolf-like creature attacked and killed as many as 200 peasants, often lone shepherdesses, savagely ripping out their throats. The animal proved impossible to trap; landowning nobles (the only ones with guns) failed to halt the killings and pacify the population. The animal soon acquired a name — “The Beast of Gévaudan” — and rampaged through the French psyche.
