Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A close look transforms even the most ordinary things into fascinating objects full of idiosyncrasies and magic. With charming tongue-in-cheek, the photographer Pascale Weber shows this through a very special object: the cat tree.

Photographed as a still life against a coloured background, we see the multifaceted and sometimes frivolous architectural capers of this extraordinary type of structure. Weber depicts them with their four-legged owners proudly presenting their homes. A particularly subtle humour characterises these aesthetic studio images.

Readers may suddenly wonder how this unique variety of forms could have been overlooked until now. And everyone may smile and ask themselves where they themselves would prefer to live.

Pascale Weber: For Cats Only / Nur für Katzen is presented in both German and English.

    What might seem on the surface like pleasing eye candy actually negotiates some of the most relevant and distressing topics of our times. Societal control through generated desires, alienation from nature, and other uncomfortable contemporary truths build the superstructure of Clemens Ascher's surreal photography.
