Frankfurt, 16/6/2016 – These worlds astonish, irritate and amaze: Fotografie Forum Frankfurt presents nine examples of contemporary landscape photography in WONDERS OF THE WORLD from June 17th – September 11th, 2016. Each approach is very unique in showing how man deals with the environment and the landscape. The show addresses issues about generating energy resources and processing waste as well as man’s responsibility for the environment and the climate. Through diverse artistic approaches, each of these internationally-renowned photographers demons- trates the impact that man has on nature and alternatively how nature’s beauty remains an evocative and sometimes provocative constant.

The photographs on view document man’s interference and encroachment upon natural environments. Visualizing the sublime and the hidden truths behind the beauty of nature the concepts also illustrate nature’s vulnerability and the threats to it. Some of the photo-artists use the terms “landscape” and “landscape architecture” in new, topical ways. These wonders of the world thusgive fresh impetus to reflect on sustainability and landscape and landscape photography – and provide inspiration for wonder and for realization.
