You Can't Frame Me
You Can’t Frame Me is the photobook produced in conjunction with the homonymous group exhibition, dedicated to the cat as both a real and symbolic presence. Through a selection of images by international artists, the book explores the cat in its primary essence: free, independent, at times elusive and at times complicit, capable of inhabiting domestic spaces and imaginaries with the same natural ease.
The book is accompanied by a critical text by philosopher Matteo Maria Paolucci, reflecting on the relationship between humans and animals, between gaze, proximity, and otherness. The volume unfolds as a heterogeneous archive of visual approaches, where the cat becomes subject, relationship, and threshold.
