In Animals That Saw Me: Volume One, Ed Panar brings together the first collection of his most surprising and unexpected encounters with ordinary fauna—a brief, deadpan field study of the uncanny moment of recognition between species. What exactly have the animals seen? The pictures are a reminder that we must appear as strange and exotic to them as they do to us.

Ricardo Cases’ third photobook Paloma al aire deals with an unusual subject: the practice of pigeon racing in the Spanish regions of Valencia and Murcia, a game consisting of releasing one female pigeon and dozens of male pigeons that chase her trying to get her attention. None of them ever gets too intimate, but the winner is the one that spends the most time close to her. The winner is not the most athletic, the toughest or the purest in breed but the more courteous, the one showing more constancy and having the strongest reproductive instinct. The macho.

On dirait une fête au bout du Shock Corridor : je m’y love et elle me décuple. Il faut attendre la montée de Close to None et les petits zigouigouis magiques pour gigoter dans tous les sens.
