Zoologies is a significant photographic work by Michel Vanden Eeckhoudt, first published in 1982 by Robert Delpire. The book features a curated selection of animal photographs captured in various settings, including zoos across the globe. It explores the aesthetic and behavioral qualities of wildlife through an artistic lens, emphasizing form, texture, and movement rather than purely scientific documentation. The work is noted for its high-quality reproduction and design, which aligns with Delpire's reputation for publishing sophisticated art and photography books in the early 1980s. It serves as a visual study of the animal kingdom, capturing both the beauty and the reality of animals in captivity.
