The Path of Least Resistance

plainpicture photographer Gabriela Torres Ruiz is showing her work at the exhibition THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE.

How can art contribute to the perception of nature in its complexity? How can it promote sensitivity and empathy for other forms of life as well as awareness for a harmonious balance between human existence and the natural world? Torres Ruiz addresses these guiding questions. Although „nature“ and „culture“ are often seen as separate – even antithetical – in the Western consciousness, Torres‘ images show that everything in this universe has a common origin.

Kudzu - The Vine that ate the South

„The vine that ate the south“ is the common description for kudzu, a highly invasive plant, which grows everywhere in the Southern States of America. Kudzu was introduced into the US in 1876 from Asia. Especially during the Great Depression it was widely cultivated as part of the New Deal programmes to stop soil erosion. Today kudzu is a huge problem. The plant easily overtakes complete woods, sometimes even houses or mobile homes. 

Since 2010 plainpicture photographer Sabine Bungert and Stefan Dolfen have been working on long term projects together. They are interested in the development of cities and landscapes due to social changes. Their project on Kudzu is now available as a book.
