creeks & lakes

Material gathered in July 2023 in the forest landscape of the Austrian – Czech borderlands. Exploring the ways of reconnecting with the regenerative nature’s intelligence I observed biomorphic layers coating wetlands and forests – many tributaries of the river Schwarze Aist, lakes such as Stierhüblteich or Pohořský rybník and hidden quarries along the European watershed and former Iron Curtain.
