Kann Spuren von Natur enthalten – fünf Betrachtungen der menschlichen Aneignung

In the organizer's words:

The exhibition shows five differentiated approaches to the dwindling resource of nature in impressive series of images. 📸 🌱

What is nature? Energy requirements, nutrition, leisure and tourism are increasingly influencing the way we deal with the landscape. Do we need new perspectives, new strategies in view of the "disorder" of a muddled situation between unchecked human needs and sustainable environmental protection?

Sensitive natural areas such as in the high mountains or in the desert are subject to growing economic needs. Bettina Meister has been following tourist developments in the impressive Moroccan desert for years on her photo trips - also with regard to the local population (Desert Love).

Swiss architect and photographer Kaspar Thalmann explores the high alpine architecture of hydroelectric power generation in aesthetic interpretations (Bregaglia).

At the same time, artificial paradises for sport and leisure are being created: in his Golf Scapes, Martin Wolf Wagner emphasizes the artificiality of these commercial parks.

The work series Waidwerk and Der kleine Korren present an alternative, respectful approach to nature. In her diploma thesis Waidwerk, Friederike Brandenburg focuses on mountain hunting as a conscious experience of nature. Christine Joos, on the other hand, portrays a small family who, as self-sufficient farmers, want to live close to nature and sustainably with animals and plants.

The exhibition is being held in cooperation with FOTOSOMMER Stuttgart 2026.
