Urban nature that often goes unnoticed
Between old industrial buildings and open outdoor spaces unfolds an exhibition experience that sharpens the view: foxes, wild boars, and kingfishers appear not as footnotes but as part of a vibrant urban landscape. The photos bring animals closer that are often only perceived out of the corner of one’s eye in everyday life.
