In the new issue of National Geographic Magazine Germany there's an article about my new Photo-Book:

The text of the article is written by Professor Christof Mauch, who is also the author of the texts in the book.





 

New PHOTO-BOOK

"WIE DER MENSCH DIE ERDE VERÄNDERT  - DIE VERWANDLUNG DER WELT"



























English: 

Opulent illustrated photo-book:  Award-winning top-class aerial photography by Bernhard Lang with profound and exciting text contributions from one of Europe's leading environmental historians Professor Christof Mauch.

Release 1st March 2024.

Who are we? Where do we come from? What have humans made of the planet whose biosphere is a thousand times older than the human species? What are humanity's prospects? Anyone who looks at the Earth from above rediscovers it, and finds answers to some of the big questions about the relationship between humans and nature in the past and present, as well as clues to what the future could look like. Christof Mauch tells stories that impressively bring Bernhard Lang's pictures to life.

• Spannende Textbeiträge von einem der führenden Umwelthistoriker Europas Professor Christof Mauch

• Faszinierende Großprojekte von oben: Wie der Mensch die Erde mehr und mehr nachhaltig gestaltet

Wer sind wir? Wo kommen wir her? Was haben Menschen aus dem Planeten gemacht, dessen Biosphäre tausendmal älter ist als die menschliche Spezies? Was sind die Perspektiven der Menschheit? Wer die Erde von oben betrachtet, entdeckt sie neu und findet Antworten auf einige der großen Fragen zum Verhältnis von Mensch und Natur in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, sowie Hinweise darauf, wie die Zukunft aussehen könnte. Christof Mauch erzählt Geschichten, die die Bilder von Bernhard Lang eindrucksvoll zum Leben erwecken.

New photo-project "DEEP MIRRORING FORESTS - POLYPTYCHS

New photo-project "DEEP MIRRORING FORESTS - POLYPTYCHS", which I have captured during autumn / beginning of winter 2023 in several National Parks of Estonia.
The forest-lakes are hidden deep in the forests, accessible only on foot via kilometer long hikes.
There's no one there, only silence and pure untouched nature.
Several captures are stitched together to Polyptychs to achieve an extra high resolution to generate large scale Fine Art Pieces which could be up to 4 to 5 meters wide.
If you take a very close look on the images you might discover a small threatening AI-generated Creature in each image, which have crept into these natural idylls, creating a current reference to the massive changes classical photography or art in general is facing through AI.

New Aerial Views Project „BAVARIAN FOREST“

New Aerial Views Project „BAVARIAN FOREST“, captured a few weeks ago out of a little Plane.

Most of the topics of my Aerial Views project, which I have been following since 2010, deal with the intervention and often also the destruction of our environment by humans.
This new aerial photo series about the Bavarian Forest, the first Nationalpark in Germany founded in 1970, shows nature that is largely left to its own devices again, true to the park’s motto “NATUR NATUR SEIN LASSEN“.
The nature zone of the Bavarian Forest National Park is thus one of the very few places in geographically divided and densely populated Germany where, in the sense of human non-intervention, at least secondary wilderness should be possible again, especially in spite of the age of the Anthropocene, in which there is no completely uninfluenced nature anymore.

In order to ensure the preservation of the protected natural areas in the Bavarian Forest, I would like to support the Junior Ranger National Park association, whose work and idea consists of wanting to convey an awareness for the protection and preservation of the emerging forest wilderness to children from the region. 10% of each Print Sale will be donated.

Sun City is located in the metropolitan area of Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, it is a so-called retirement town, inhabited predominantly by older US citizens from the northern states. The age limit was set at 55 years.

The houses consist mainly of one-storied bungalows and are built on level desert ground. There are hardly any stairs and steps and all curbs are flattened - the entire city is almost barrier-free.


All houses are equipped with the latest security technology.

New Aerial Views Work: BONEYARD 2022

"Housing the largest aircraft and missile facility around the globe, the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson is a trove of aviation history. The Arizona boneyard is responsible for nearly 4,000 vehicles that are maintained, recycled for parts, and stored across miles of the dry, desert landscape. Photographer Bernhard Lang (previously) visited the site recently to document the aircraft, which are organized in neat rows and grouped by model. Containing both rusted and disassembled machines and those in pristine condition, the boneyard is designed for preservation “in order to make (the planes) airworthy again if necessary, a current topic in times of the Ukraine war and the global discussion about deliveries of arms,” Lang says. " Grace Ebert, Thisiscolossal.com (USA) 2022
