An innovative and insightful look at our relationship with animals
in the age of the Anthropocene from bestselling author Henry
Carroll with original images from an innovative array of
contemporary photographers See through the eyes of a new generation
of photographers responding to the rapidly unfolding issues shaping
our lives. In this series of small, revealing, and beautifully
presented books, Henry Carroll, the bestselling photography writer
of the last decade, considers the ideas behind images to present
personal perspectives on climate change, race, sexuality, gender,
faith, inequality, beauty, power, and the natural world. In this
second book of the series, ANIMALS, Carroll deep-dives into an
ecosystem of contemporary images to consider how we relate to
animals in the Anthropocene. His accessible analysis of emotive
imagery suggests that our appreciation for some animals and
disregard, or repulsion, for others is shaped by our own
physicality as much as theirs. He shows how the conventions of
natural history offer a very politicized understanding of fauna and
how the role of animals as spiritual, cultural, and personal
symbols can be an equally valid means of classification. Carroll
reflects on the psychological power struggles infusing our daily
interactions with animals and unpacks the photographers' visual
insights relating to our treatment of animals, whether it's the way
we pamper them as pets or consume them to excess. In this diverse
collection of arresting images and engaging text, Carroll regards
the photographers as modern-day philosophers, original thinkers who
show us how to fuse technique, concept, and imagination in order to
pose intriguing questions about the animal kingdom and human
nature. For both the creators and consumers of images, this timely
book contains a treasure trove of meaningful visual reflections
that will prompt you to rethink your relationship with animals both
domestic and wild.
