A cat wanders, perches, and lounges in various spaces around a humble Tokyo apartment. It is perfectly tranquil in its surroundings, simply going about its daily life. In one image, the cat lays serenely amidst pot plants on the balcony, squinting in morning sunlight; in others, it balances precariously on the edge of the bath, snuggles beneath a sleeping bag, plays in a cardboard box, hides beneath an open umbrella. Here and there, evidence of the cat’s fellow inhabitant in the apartment – a man, who also happens to be the internationally renowned Japanese photographer Takashi Homma – creeps into the frame. A knee, a foot, a shock of blonde hair, half of a face. Co-edition with Nieves.
