Urban Wilderness in Bochum: Exhibition at the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover

Urban Wilderness in Bochum: City-Nature meets Industrial Culture

The exhibition Urban Wilderness brings the hidden side of the city directly to the outdoor area of the Zeche Hannover. It features photographs by Sven Meurs, who has been working for many years as a photojournalist, author, and lecturer, specializing in urban nature, wildlife photography, and urban habitats. The presentation will be visible from 6.5.2026 at the site of the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover. ([zeche-hannover.lwl.org](https://zeche-hannover.lwl.org/de/ausstellungen/?utm_source=openai))

When the City Becomes the Stage for Nature

Amidst historic brick walls, vast open spaces, and the unique flair of industrial culture, an exhibition experience unfolds that changes perspectives. Sven Meurs shows how flora and fauna find new niches even in densely built areas and quietly reclaim their space. His work combines experience, observation, and expertise into an impressive narrative about biodiversity in urban spaces.

Photography with Attitude and Atmosphere

The exhibition relies on strong imagery and themes that remain relevant: urban nature, biodiversity, and the sensitive balance between humans and the environment. For years, the artist has been bringing attention to the beauty and vulnerability of local nature through his projects. This mixture of visual power and thematic depth also characterizes Urban Wilderness. ([svenmeurs.de](https://www.svenmeurs.de/vita/?utm_source=openai))
