“Tides, wind, storm surges, and climate change shape a space in which formation and dissolution are inextricably intertwined. In Twisted Landscape, biologist and photographer Oliver Ullrich focuses on the North German Wadden Sea as a landscape in constant flux. His photographs move between scientific observation and artistic interpretation. They depict sedimentary structures, surfaces, and landscapes at micro and macro scales, creating abstract pictorial spaces. The photographic series presents an experience of landscape as an ongoing process, inviting reflection on cycles of becoming and passing away—and, not least, on whether their equilibrium has already been irreversibly altered by climate change.”

„Scientist and photographer Oliver Ullrich returns to explore the Cabo de Gata in Andalusia, one of the driest regions in Europe. At first glance, the landscape here appears frozen and unchanging, but Ullrich tracks down the places where nature seems to communicate. Various natural objects, wind, water, and sun interact and reveal nature here as a living thing that can be experienced as a poetic rather than a purely rational quality. The images in Synaptic Landscape bear witness to vitality, beauty, and change in equilibrium - as signs of a healthy landscape. At the same time, however, they highlight the vulnerability of nature and remind us of the threat posed by humankind.“
