Animals: Photographs That Make You Think

A thought-provoking exploration of how humans relate to animals in the Anthropocene, using contemporary photography to examine our emotional and psychological connections with different species. Through a series of striking images, the author analyzes how our perceptions of animals are influenced by both our own physicality and the ways in which animals are represented in cultural, spiritual, and political contexts. The text delves into the power dynamics in our interactions with animals, whether as cherished pets or exploited resources, while also highlighting the work of photographers as modern philosophers, blending technique, concept, and imagination. With its mix of visual and written insights, the book encourages readers to reconsider their relationships with both domestic and wild animals. It presents a rich collection of reflections that challenges conventional views and prompts deeper thinking about our role in the natural world.
