Animals And Humans Reverse Roles In 20 Illustrations

By Luke Miller Truth Theory

What would the world look like if we switched places with animals?

Human beings kill and consume animals for our own benefit, and often just for pleasure. It has become so normalised that we usually do so without giving it much thought.

But what about if we conceptualized a parallel universe, in which animals were doing the exploiting? Could this change our perspective?

These are the ideas being explored by German artist Barbara Daniels. Daniels takes very real situation, but switches the place of the humans and animals, to create thought provoking images that make us question the morality of animal treatment in the modern world.

“Imagine our modern society with the roles of humans and animals reversed. What would it look like? How would it feel to be dominated by another species? My current artwork strives to answer these questions, drawing inspiration from real world situations and events.” Said Barbara on her website Barbara Daniels Art.
