At Coco Fusco’s Frieze Project on Thursday night, Dr. Zira - familiar to some from Planet of the Apes (1968) - emerged from two decades of seclusion to deliver her lecture ‘Observation of Predation in Humans’.

You never know who might come to your aid After the launch of President George Bush’s “Operation Descartes” against her kind, Dr. Zira saved her son through the intervention of a “friendly circus owner”. 2.
