Cat Seen contrasts two narratives, arranged in left—right axial fashion: animal portraits taken throughout the globe are juxtaposed against abandoned Post-Katrina New Orleans homes that have been searched and tagged by the SPCA and others seeking lost pets. Koopman's binary (“pet houses” and “the naked forest”) acts as a subtle meditation on the relationship between the domesticated and the feral;
it also documents an improvised means of hermetic classification (“10/5 DOGS UNDER HOUSE,” “9/28 1 Cat Upstairs”), a system that exists as both architectural intervention and a marker of the objects of human attachment.
