In 'Urban Elephants', Klaus Koenig is inspired by the African myth that aging elephants seek an ancestral graveyard to die and connect with past generations. 'Urban Elephants' reflects the myth in an urban setting where the majestic animals have been replaced by cars. These urban elephants have a graveyard of their own in the outskirts of Mexico City in the area of Coyoacán.
In 'Urban Abstractions' he has played the role of an archeologist and unearthed unknown abstract art in old torn posters.
