Photomanipulation nominee

Is it fiction or reality, is it a warm rain forest or a cold german mixed forest, are these animals real live in this forest or is it a giant zoo, maybe is it a future look to a world without humans? These are the questions behind this series. I think these photos gives no answers to this questions, they should not also. Rather, they should just raise these questions and may even allow the viewer room for more questions unanswered. All images of this series combine two photographs, one misty forest (the famous german 'Teutoburger Wald') and one exotic animal from a german zoo.
