Surrounded By Woods

The series Surrounded By Woods consists of landscape and portrait photographs and is a long-term photographic exploration of my home region. The first photographs were taken around 2012, back then as a challenge to see motifs in familiar surroundings. Over time, the view becomes sharper, one develops further, becomes sensitized to the small changes in the environment and social developments flow into it. The aim is to follow this and make it visible in the work.

The title has a local reference in a wooded region and is also inspired by the essay „Auf diese Dinge gibt es keine Antwort“ from the book „Lewis Balz Texts“, Steidl 2012
