‘The Rat Gazette’ is een ode aan misschien wel het meest verguisde dier ter wereld: de rat. Maar klopt het wel dat er alleen negatief naar de rat gekeken wordt? Fotograaf Arjan Schuitman bereisde Europa, Azië en Noord-Amerika om het imago van de rat te onderzoeken. Tijdens zijn zoektocht kwam hij erachter dat ratten niet alleen bestreden maar ook aanbeden en benut worden.
