The question of the animal, and more specifically of animality, has interested artists, writers and philosophers for a long time. In this essay João Castilho moves wild animals into domestic environments, where he photographs them. The domestic environment is where, potentially, we would be most comfortable as humans; the presence of the animal there is unsettling and beautiful at the same time. With this gesture the artist discusses, through images, the boundary we draw between ourselves and other living beings.
