Images of the effects of the climate crisis have become commonplace: flooded valleys and coasts, devastated landscapes, parched fields, melting glaciers, destroyed houses.

Environment and the related photographic practices
It is also dealing for the first time with the ecological consequences of photography itself. Photography depicts ecological problems in images, but is itself partly an ecological problem as a network of consumption, labor, energy, material, transport.

he works on display are objects of representation that simultaneously reflect on the ecology of image-making itself.
