A work presented in two parts – a lecture performance and a book. The work investigates the animal name and the role this name plays in the linguistic behavior of humans. It traces the footprints of wolves, elephant, bears and ravens as they move perpetually in and out of human language. A creature that does not speak, a creature you cannot speak of. An elephant in every room. A white bear, whose silhouette looms larger with every effort to keep it out of your mind.
