ödes land (2024) — In Germany, 95% of moors have been drained for economic purposes, irreversibly disrupting ecosystems that have developed over millennia and store significant carbon reserves. However, their current state exacerbates the climate crisis. »ödes land« (desolate land) promotes a nature appreciation that cultivates a deeper human-nature bond via aesthetic encounters. The sensitive landscape is captured through the camera. These images serve as documentation of the consequences of our mistakes if we manage to change our behavior towards nature, or as witnesses to the loss of valuable habitats if we do not – even our own.
