German artist and photographer Michael Najjar explores the far-reaching ecological, economic and cultural impacts of climate change which are leading to a redefinition of the relationship between humans and nature. His latest series cool earth spans the arc from an impending dystopian future – which has already arrived in our present – to a technology-based decarbonised post-fossil world.
Working across film, digital collaging and video, Leela Schauble’s Portals series incorporates NASA imagery captured on the dates of recent ecological disasters into photographic collages that act as portals between worlds, inspired by ancient China’s profound appreciation of water, philosophy and connection to heaven and earth.
Living between Shanghai and Munich, Xiao Hui Wang has been writing diaries and documenting her life through photography for over 35 years. The exhibition features 100 works from her ongoing self-portraiture series Visual Diary that documents the healing process she underwent due to a car accident that transformed her life.
