Art exhibition project (photography, sound, text) – curated by Any Stoykova.

An experimental art project, dedicated to the wild animals. It represents ways of how nowadays artists react to untamed nature, visibly interacting with the urbanized world of people.
Animals - living in the zoos as an attraction, breaded for laboratory experiments, living in sanctuaries. Wild animals have their own needs – often taken away from them by humans trapped in the desire of taming nature. Deforestation dispels lots of species. Thus, having their food chains broken, animals are forced to seek food nearer and nearer to places inhabited by people.
And it is how, through different cases, humans and animals appear to live in the same territories more often. 

The project was created for the festival “Art Idea – Art Alley” in 2014, where firstly exhibited.
