Achtung Artenvielfalt!
Reading from ‘Wildwechsel’

The book "Wildwechsel. Geschichten aus der Stadt" by biologist and author Franziska Witschi tells 21 stories about encounters between humans and animals. The characters in the stories are not consciously seeking out nature, but come across it by chance and react to the unexpected interaction. The book explores the projections, fears and longings that are evoked when we encounter the wild in the city – and realise that we, too, are part of that wilderness.
