Nikita Teryoshin

Backyard Diaries showcases backyard cats as an alternative to meme cats and classic cat content found on the internet. These cats are not being pushed around in strollers, nor do they come from prestigious pedigrees. They are constantly engaged in a sometimes harsh struggle for survival, and their appearance reflects their past experiences. Through his work, Nikita Teryoshin pays tribute to these outsiders of society. On the other hand, the series also reveals the less touristy areas of cities that, like the cats themselves, are often subject to gentrification.
