📸 How to Understand a Rock by Kate Schneider: A Poetic Study of Touch, Time, and Geology 🪨📖

Kate Schneider’s How to Understand a Rock is a quiet, tactile meditation on our emotional and sensory connection to the non-human world. In this deeply personal project, Schneider photographs ancient rocks—many from her childhood collection—inviting us to reflect on deep time, memory, and the absurdity of trying to "know" something so old, so silent, so unknowable.

Blending elements of field guide, performance, and personal archive, the series avoids both scientific analysis and mystical abstraction. Instead, it embraces ambiguity, asking what it means to hold and be held by something inanimate yet alive with history. Through intimate gestures—cupped palms, balancing acts, cradling poses—Schneider transforms stone into metaphor, anchor, and companion.

How to Understand a Rock is not about classification. It’s about kinship, care, and the subtleties of attention. Through this work, Schneider gives voice to the voiceless and invites us to see geology not as distant, but as deeply felt.

📸 We, the Heartland by Kate Schneider: Documenting Resistance Across the Great Plains 🌾📷

Kate Schneider’s We, the Heartland is a powerful photographic meditation on land, identity, and protest in the face of environmental threat. Shot along the proposed Keystone XL pipeline route in Nebraska and South Dakota, this series captures a quiet but resolute resistance—one rooted not in spectacle, but in deep love for place.

Pairing landscapes with handwritten letters from ranchers and Lakota community members to President Obama, Schneider creates a dialogue between image and voice. Her photographs are not dramatic scenes of conflict, but rather moments of everyday life—fenced pastures, weathered homes, branding days—imbued with a subtle tension. The looming presence of the pipeline is felt in its absence.

We, the Heartland resists both visual cliché and political oversimplification. It centers lived experience, stewardship, and the emotional geographies of those who know the land intimately. With patience and care, Schneider invites us to consider what it means to belong to a place—and what it means to fight for it.

📸 As I Walked Within by Alireza Malekian: Walking Iran’s Edges, Frame by Frame 🚶‍♂️🏙️

Spanning nine years (2012–2020), As I Walked Within is .malekian’s quiet yet powerful chronicle of Iran’s evolving urban life. Through deliberate and spontaneous walks, he documents streets, suburbs, alleys, and spaces shaped by time, memory, and transformation.

Far from touristic or symbolic imagery, this long-form project offers an intimate and subjective lens on the built environment. With portraits of friends, self-portraits, and everyday scenes, Alireza captures the subtle cultural threads woven into the urban fabric.

This is Iran not as stereotype or spectacle—but as lived experience. A country seen from within, through repetition, presence, and personal observation.

📸 Defamiliarizing Iran by Alireza Malekian: Reframing the Everyday in Post-Documentary Iran 🌆🇮🇷

Alireza Malekian’s Defamiliarizing Iran is a conceptually rich photographic series that dismantles conventional ways of seeing Iranian urban life. Produced between 2013 and 2018, the work explores how visual intervention—through sequencing, layering, and compositional disruption—can challenge the viewer’s assumptions about place, culture, and photographic truth.

Rather than offer a fixed narrative of Iran, the series creates deliberate visual distance. Familiar buildings become abstracted, frames are reassembled, and multiple realities are juxtaposed. Each image resists cliché, resisting exoticism in favor of subtle complexity.

Rooted in post-photographic methodology, Defamiliarizing Iran isn’t just a visual document—it’s a philosophical inquiry. It asks: What happens when a photograph no longer serves as proof, but as provocation? How do we see a country when its symbols are rearranged?

Through this body of work, Alireza reveals an Iran in flux—personal and political, haunted by memory, and alive with contradictions. It is an Iran that must be looked at again, and again, until the viewer’s gaze is no longer passive, but questioning.

📸 The Absence and Presence of the Berlin Wall by Gesche Würfel: A Layered Portrait of Division and Memory 🧱🇩🇪

In this powerful photographic project, Gesche Würfel retraces the entire 160 km path of the Berlin Wall to uncover the lingering emotional, psychological, and architectural scars left by decades of division in Germany.

Blending analog photography, archival images from the Stasi Records, and intimate interviews with former political prisoners, guest workers, and Berlin residents, the series explores what has been erased, what endures, and what reunification truly means.

Würfel’s process is both conceptual and deeply personal—stopping every 2.8 km (for each year the Wall stood) to create complex, layered images that show the landscape as a living document of history. Trees, fences, cobblestones, and gaps in architecture all become symbols of past trauma and present transformation.

The Absence and Presence of the Berlin Wall is a compelling meditation on how societies remember, rebuild, and reconcile. It is not just a document—it is a visual reckoning.

🌲🔥 Forests in the Anthropocene by
What happens when climate change is etched into the very surface of a photograph?

In this powerful and poetic series, Gesche Würfel uses a large-format camera to document forests in North Carolina and Massachusetts—landscapes already altered by global warming. But the process doesn’t end with the image.

She distresses her prints using heat, solarization, salt, and even laser etching, allowing the materials themselves to embody the trauma these ecosystems endure. The result is a visual language of decay, resilience, and transformation.

🌍 Forests in the Anthropocene is not just a photographic series—it's a visceral reminder of our changing planet and the silent suffering of its forests.

📘 Thinking Like an Island – A Photobook That Thinks in Fragments 📸📖

What if a book didn’t lead you from start to finish—but from edge to center, from silence to rhythm, from one fragment of memory to another?

Thinking Like an Island by Camilla Marrese & Gabriele Chiapparini isn’t just a photobook—it’s an experience in form, structure, and perception.

Crafted as four interlocked mini-books, it opens in four directions, creating an ever-shifting sequence of spreads. Each book offers its own thread—portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and poetic texts—unfolding like a guided collage.

This structure mirrors the very place it was inspired by: Alicudi, an island that disorients, conceals, and resists linear understanding.

Camilla explains: “We got lost on the island, and we wanted readers to feel that same disorientation... the impossibility of grasping the whole at once.”

The result? A work that thinks like an island—circular, recursive, intuitive. A tactile narrative that you don’t just read, but navigate.

🌀 More than a photobook—it’s a cartography of confusion, memory, and presence.

📸 Thinking Like an Island by Camilla Marrese & Gabriele Chiapparini: A Poetic Disorientation of Place and Perception 🌊📖

Thinking Like an Island is a striking four-part photobook that immerses the viewer in the fragmented, mythic world of Alicudi—one of the most remote islands in the Mediterranean. Shot over several months, the project is less a document than a sensory, philosophical journey.

In this work, Marrese and Chiapparini unravel ideas of isolation, utopia, and time through a hybrid language of photography, literature, and bookmaking. Their images drift between still lifes, haunting landscapes, and intimate portraits—never settling, always shifting.

The book’s structure itself reflects the island's logic: nonlinear, layered, and elusive. Like a tide pulling you in and pushing you back, it disorients by design, urging readers to feel rather than interpret.

Thinking Like an Island isn’t just about a place—it thinks like one. It’s a meditation on the impossibility of full understanding, the seduction of escape, and the echoes of a world that exists just beyond reach.
