Interior and exterior of Housin a Fox installation during the exhibition at Urban Nation (project space), Berlin, 2024

“... Modern cities are filled with designed environments—parks and playgrounds that leave little room for adventure or challenge. As urbanization spreads, the wild corners of the city disappear, leaving spaces that are extensions of the city’s structure. Yet, the human desire for escape remains, and today’s children often find this escape in nature. It is in this spirit of reclaiming imaginative spaces that »Housing the Fox« was born.

... The urban fox is a reminder of the presence of urban wildlife, and a symbol of adaptability. Above all, the urban fox is a metaphor for the homeless and marginalized, who navigate the overlooked corners of the city.
At its core, »Housing the Fox« aims to foster connections: between children and their environment, the urban and the wild, and discarded objects and their potential. The Housing is a collaborative space that blurs boundaries between public and private, human and animal. It invites reflection on the hidden lives within cities, like the elusive urban fox that inspired it. Through this project, we aim to evoke the magic of unsupervised play in an increasingly controlled world, offering a space for imagination, creativity, and exploration at the edges of urban life.”
