description: In this his latest book, the artist Keith Carter explores a relationship often overlooked in today's world: the inherent kinship between man and animal. Both possess sentient power and spiritual presence. Yet each harbors the secret of an inner life that the other will never know. The photographs of Keith Carter are timeless, enigmatic and mythological. Heaven of Animals is not a photo-essay about men and their pets. Rather, it honors the ties that bind human beings to the creatures that share their world. Taken together these photographs create a visual relationship between the portraits of humans and those of animals that suggests a deep and abiding interdependence.
