Geoffroy's Cat, Topeka, Kansas Possibly 1987 - 1988

Volker Seding's "Geoffroy's Cat, Topeka, Kansas" is a black and white photograph from the late 1980s depicting a Geoffroy's cat in its enclosure at the Topeka Zoo. The photograph captures a sense of isolation and confinement, with the cat positioned in the center of the frame, partially obscured by a web-like structure. The focus on the animal's enclosure highlights the often overlooked reality of captive animals in zoos. The image's composition, with the cat in the center and the enclosure framing it, reinforces this sense of isolation. This photograph, taken during Seding's exploration of zoos and their inhabitants, is a poignant commentary on the complexities of human-animal relationships.
