The exhibit was created in the early spring of 2016 as a response to political climate in Dresden at the time. The exhibition was installed right after the Refugee Crisis of 2015, when Germany temporarily opened its borders and accepted over one million refugees. The result was a rise in crimes against minorities, asylum seekers and asylum accommodation. Opolka was inspired to create his wolf sculptures after the Federal Criminal Police Office registered “1,031 “crimes against asylum accommodation” across Germany in 2015 – from offensive graffiti to 94 acts of arson.” When asked why he chose to use wolves to symbolize social and political tension in Germany, Opolka stated that “since Thomas Hobbes the wolf has been a symbol for the inner social conflicts of men [...] I remain in that tradition. I want to show those conflicts and use the wolf as metaphor.” The exhibition ran in Dresden until March 23rd, 2016.
