Titel: An inventory.

Let's cut down a forest, straighten the ground, dig a hole, build a house on top of it and fence it all in with thuja hedges... nice and green. Absurdities like these made me think about our relationship to nature today, especially in the city. Is there such a thing as nature? If you define nature as "everything that is organic and inorganic phenomena that exists or develops without human” (citation: Wikipedia), there is very little of it. Instead, there are more and more human-dominated landscapes that imitate nature. The plants, with their visual character, usually serve only as ornaments. Simple care, a tidy appearance with just the right amount of authentic wilderness authentic character should be provided by man-made nature. bring along. However, it is obvious that it does not work like that. In numerous walks, I have observed what I consider to be significant between man and nature, as well as nature and landscape. Visual metaphors for an exploitative relationship between man and nature can be found in industrial urban landscapes, which are usually located in peripheral areas and thus stand in direct contrast to the neighbouring forests. The photographs I exhibit form exemplary commentaries on the question of today's understanding of nature.
