Not only do we live in a period of rapid, exciting change, but we
are also in the midst of the Anthropocene age. The environment and
climate are changing in the wake of human-driven turbo-capitalism.
Benedikt Partenheimer's works make it possible to imagine-sensorily
as well as contextually-the close connection and increasing
imbalance between humans and the earth. Photographs of fascinating,
impressive elegance reveal processes of ecological and cultural
transformation. What makes these pictures so irresistible is the
human influence factor: the painterly mist of air pollution
floating above urban panoramas, the ambivalence of mountain
reflections in melted glacier water. The price of beauty is
inscribed into each image. It makes Partenheimer's work
aesthetically intriguing-but above all, existentially important and
politically controversial.
