During a meeting, all board members turn into frogs. Just before his surgery, a patient in the hospital finds solace in an owl. The last rhino is shot amidst applause on a crosswalk. On the 87th floor, crocodiles lead a very comfortable life unnoticed. The exceptional artist Shaun Tan explores in his latest work the peculiar relationship between humans and animals, depicting in dreamlike sequences how love and care often stand in stark contrast to indifference and cruelty. The 25 distinct texts, each accompanied by double-page oil paintings, are both poetic and dark, yet also contain a great deal of humor and warmth, penetrating deep into the heart of our urbanized world.
