Travelers-photographers Tuul and Bruno Morandi have been traveling the world for eighteen years in search of fleeting moments capturing the breath of the moment and the play of colors. During their journeys, passionate about cats, they always go in search of these facetious animals and live their cat encounters as so many happy and friendly parentheses. Because cats are everywhere. Over the centuries, from Africa to America and Japan to the Orient, the four-legged seducer has silently conquered the world. Cuddly and curious, he negligently lets himself be portrayed. An accomplished esthete, he even chooses the most photogenic places to pose in the light. A nocturnal poet or asserted clown, he takes refuge in improbable niches to hang out or prowl. Armed with patience, Tuul and Bruno forget the time in his company and offer us here their most beautiful “shots”. From Zanzibar to Kyoto, passing through Mongolia, Taiwan, India, Morocco or the Cyclades, at the mercy of their incessant travels and embellished with the most beautiful writers’ quotes, they delight us with the extraordinary and global ” Odyssey of cats.
“The cat goes off by himself and all places are worth it for him.” He sailed the seas on boats with the mission of reducing the presence of rats; the long ways do not scare him; he feeds on little, drinks less, and above all he knows where he is going: to the east, where the sun reappears at dawn, for he is the cat, the guardian of the birth of light . – Nelly Delay
“Cats, they realize this extraordinary performance of being always beautiful. On this point, there can be no discordance. And what is too often forgotten is that a beauty without attitudes, or a neglected beauty, is no longer beauty. No fear about it with cats. They are probably the most accomplished, the most aesthetic success of creation. They are first show. “- Gilbert Ganne
