Dethroned
Dethroned
Big cats have been revered by mankind for millennia, but what has become of the relationship between us in the modern day?
Photojournalist Aaron Gekoski has spent his life documenting the interplay of people and planet. Now he’s turning his camera on these icons of the ancients. From the jungles of Peru and the lion farms of South Africa to exotic pet owners in Pakistan and Southeast Asia’s illegal wildlife trade, DETHRONED is a thoughtful and beautifully crafted investigation into our relationship with big cats.
Ultimately it asks: what becomes of us when we destroy all that is sacred?
