Enter the Forest

Versatile, largely untouched woodlands, often only fleeting moments of ever-changing flora, captured on analog film. In this way, Alexandre Maia continues a tradition that focuses on the German forest as a leitmotif in the field of photography. The photographer repeatedly wandered through German wetlands and heaths, as well as mixed, coniferous, and mountain forests during different weather conditions, times of day, and seasons - always focusing on the changing atmosphere. However, not only the phenomenon of forest solitude is a feature of this series, but also the expansion of views with regard to the climate and environmental consciousness. An awareness of the endangered natural kingdom is physically reflected in the production of the book - printed on certified recycled paper and produced in Germany, Enter the Forest thus captures the spirit of the time.
