Thomas Heinser

 

Thomas Heinser’s photographs of California do not show the typical postcard idyll. In the projects Overview and Tides he photographs Californian landscapes from above and thus impressively documents the intrusion of man into nature. Industry, drought, and fire are triggers of the large-scale effects of climate change. The distanced bird’s eye view creates an abstract aesthetic of the very real and poignant violation of the landscape. “Look what we’re doing to our earth!”

“Now the macro and micro worlds come together through the gaze of a photographer to gain the creative overview. And so an intertwining of divine creation with human design is revealed in a pattern.”
