The photographs in 'After Us the Flood' give the abstract processes and complex interrelationships of the climate crisis a visual form. The international works of the last ten years was often the result of intensive research & cooperation with scientists.

The out-of-print volume 'Aus der Werkstatt der Natur' brings together the most beautiful photographs by Karl BLOSSFELDT as well as an unpublished text by the master. It follows his traces in contemporary art e.g. in the comic fantasies by Benoît Peeters.
