Urban Animal Fables 城市動物寓言

Paper Sculpture

ALAN commissioned artwork in 2025

Artwork Description

This art installation focuses on "the absurd phenomena formed by the various adaptations animals make to navigate and roam through the city." Animals learn to cross at pedestrian crossings to avoid traffic flows; wild pigeons learn to use toilets, starting from a hygiene perspective; pods of dolphins put on gas masks and oxygen tanks to swim freely in polluted waters. Through a series of bizarre scenes, it highlights the unique survival strategies animals employ to adapt to urban life, prompting reflection on harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
