Wounded Landscape | New Lakeland - The Void
"Wounded Landscape | New Lakeland" is a joint project with my wife Gundula Walz, in which we discover and interpret the exciting landscape transformation in the Lusatian area in the south of Brandenburg, Germany. In this area disused lignite open-cast mines are beeing flooded to make the largest artificial lakeland in Europe. Our first visit to Lusatia was now already six years ago. This week we visited the area again. This image was taken at the completely flooded Lake Sedlitz. No people around, absolute silence in a wide and empty artificial landscape. There was no wind. The lake was like a mirror under very bright diffuse light. The mood was totally unreal
