The series « The Furtastic Adventures of The Cabbit and The Folf » highlights the furry fandom subculture. It consists of men and women dressed as anthropomorphic animal characters, with human personalities. Lybeer takes photographs of Belgian, Dutch, French and German fans. In these twenty portraits, she has captured the furry fans or “furries” as they call themselves, in their own living rooms. Their costumes that show us the character each of the participants embodies during social gatherings in “furry mode”, and stand in vivid contrast with their interiors.
