In Stefanie Gendera's third work, urban symbolism meets archaic presence: a group of wolves roam the foreground, drawn in ghostly black and white, as if they were mere shadows of a nature that barely exists in the city. Their terrain is not a forest clearing, but a wall covered with garish graffiti and a socio-political message: "Coexist" - the famous play on words of religious and ideological symbols, here vividly realised with peace signs, the Star of David and a cross. But the idyll remains fragile.
The wall is not a blank canvas, but a wild, confusing patchwork of human voices. "Come Together", "All You Need...", "Occam's Heroes" - between appeals and anarchy, the picture looks like a manifesto for tolerance, but also like a battlefield of opinions. And right in the middle: the wolves. They stand for originality, cohesion - but also for marginalisation and misunderstandings. Because although they are fascinating social animals, many still see them as a threat.
Gendera's image prompts us to reflect on our relationship with "the others" - whether in the animal kingdom or among humans. "Coexist" is not romanticised here, but shown as a challenge: How can we live together when the world is so loud, so colourful, so contradictory?
A visual statement about diversity, survival and the right to space - for everyone.
