Animals: Photographs That Make You Think

"This immersive ecosystem of images and ideas considers how human physicality shapes our appreciation for some animals and repulsion for others; it exposes the politicized conventions of natural history and explores animals as personal, cultural, and spiritual symbols. The peculiarities behind our day-to-day interactions with animals are brought to the surface, and questions are raised about what lies behind our insatiable appetite for animals, both in visual culture and on the plate"--Front flap.
