(Tucson, Arizona): (Nazraeli Press), (1998).
4to. 33 black-and-white photographic reproductions (92 × 113 mm / 3 5/8 × 4 7/16 in) affixed to 37 boards (252 × 204 mm / 10 × 8 in). Title-page and plates hand finished in pencil by the artist. Presented in a custom-made box of natural wood and Plexiglas with a sliding rear panel with the title in blue. Fine.
First edition, one of 500 hand-numbered copies. ‘The Things That Animals Care About, And begins with the relatively simple question of how the world might look through the eyes of an "other" animal. Through the artist's masterful use of selective focus, startling vantage points and emphasis on seemingly random subject matter, a sophisticated puzzle is created, left open for the viewer to answer.’
