Discovering Wild Animals Where You Least Expect Them: Right in the City

Urban Wilderness invites you in Bochum to rediscover nature in the urban space. The outdoor photo exhibition featuring works by Sven Meurs showcases wild animals that are reclaiming life in German cities. It becomes evident that city and wilderness do not have to be opposites.

At the center are fascinating images of animals familiar to many people from their daily lives or that appear unexpectedly in the city. The displayed subjects include foxes, wild boars, and kingfishers. The photographs provide a unique perspective on urban habitats and pique curiosity about the animal inhabitants of German cities.

Photographs Between City and Nature

Sven Meurs focuses on wild animals that have adapted to life in cities. His images tell of a nature that can be found not only in forests, by rivers, or in remote landscapes but also amid human settlements. The exhibition encourages visitors to pay closer attention to their surroundings and discover animal traces in urban areas.

As an outdoor exhibition, the presentation can be seen at the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum. The exhibition location is at Günnigfelder Straße 251. Visitors can get to know the photographs of Sven Meurs and engage with the question of how wild animals use German cities as habitats.
