Interruption of Nature

PRINTING TECHNIQUES
A Landscape Under Influence
Interruption of Nature is a photography project developed through an exploration of the city of Basel. The starting point was simple: to document natural environments within the urban landscape.
What emerged was something more complex.
Across multiple locations, it became clear that no space existed in isolation. Every natural setting carried evidence of human presence. Infrastructure, objects, boundaries, traces. Nature was never untouched. Only negotiated.
This shifted the project from documentation to observation. Not of nature alone, but of its condition.
The series examines nature through stages, moving from what appears to be an uninterrupted state to one that is visibly infringed.
Framing became the method.
Each photograph isolates moments where natural elements and urban structures coexist, sometimes subtly, sometimes in tension. The act of framing does not remove the interference. It reveals it.
What may initially read as pure landscape begins to show layers of disruption. Edges appear. Lines interrupt. Structures impose.
The image's position in nature is not static, but as something continually shaped by its surroundings
The work extends beyond photography through the use of cyanotype printing techniques.
Cyanotype introduces a distinct visual language. Deep blues, high contrast, and material sensitivity shift the images from documentation into interpretation.
The process itself mirrors the concept. Exposure, reaction, transformation.
Light interacts with the surface. Time leaves a trace.
The image is not just captured. It is developed through a condition.
