ERÖFFNUNG Hans-Christian Schink. Über Land

In the organizer's words:

Opening of the exhibition Hans-Christian Schink. About Land.
Luise Badstübner translates into German sign language.

Under the title Über Land, the MdbK is showing the latest group of works by the renowned photographic artist Hans-Christian Schink (*1961 Erfurt). The subject of the work is the landscape in the far north-east of Germany, which the photographer illuminates from different perspectives in three different sub-projects. From a pictorial point of view, Über Land is a multi-layered, contemporary examination of the influential tradition of European and North American landscape depictions - especially those of Romanticism.

At the same time, the work stands at the interface of current social debates on the changes to the landscape in the wake of climate and structural change, the associated loss of biodiversity and the effects of these processes on people's experience of nature.
