Que Bicho Que é? by Levindo Carneiro


Photographs of natural objects are superimposed with shadow images to invite the reader to discover what each shadow is, and how it relates to the accompanying picture.   

The final two pages explain where each of the pictures were taken, but this information is not necessary to appreciate the book because the book is not dependent upon this text.

The White Ravens 2011 catalog explains its inclusion by noting that "the artist connects animals with places that are not necessarily their natural habitats, which makes for surprising, unexpected sensations that both entertain and incite the reader's imagination to reinvent reality."
