Concrete Jungle brings together nine photographers to examine the quiet, complex, and often overlooked lives of the animals who share our cities. These creatures move through our daily spaces with their own rhythms and stories—whether it is a swan gliding along the Rhein, a hedgehog navigating a night road, a deer passing through a cemetery, or a squirrel pausing to observe us as closely as we observe it. From snails and birds to cats, temple monkeys, house bees, and guide dogs, the exhibition reveals the vibrant and unexpected presence of wildlife woven into the fabric of urban life.

Through documentary, conceptual, and experimental approaches, the artists explore how animals adapt to, resist, and subtly reshape the environments humans have built. Their images suggest that cities are not human domains alone but shared ecosystems in which survival, intimacy, curiosity, and coexistence unfold in ways we rarely pause to see. The works invite viewers to reconsider familiar spaces—streets, parks, rooftops, rivers—as living habitats where species intersect and influence one another.

Guided by a curatorial vision that seeks to deepen our understanding of humanity’s entanglement with the more-than-human world, Concrete Jungle encourages a renewed attentiveness to the lives moving alongside ours. The exhibition offers not only a visual encounter, but also a call to empathy: an invitation to witness the resilience, vulnerability, and quiet brilliance of the animals who inhabit our urban landscapes, and to reflect on the shared future we are continually shaping together.ory, through material, and through the quiet, enduring ties that anchor us to one another.
