"Versatile woodlands largely left to themselves, often just fleeting moments of ever-changing flora, captured on analog film. Thus Alexandre MAIA continues a tradition that sees the German forest as a recurring theme in photography. The photographer repeatedly walked through German wetlands, heath landscapes, mixed, coniferous and mountain forests at different weather conditions, times of day and seasons - the change of atmosphere always in focus. However, not only the phenomenon of forest solitude is a feature of this series of images, but also the expansion of views on climate and environmental awareness. The thought of the endangered natural kingdom finds its implementation in the production of the book - printed on certified recycled paper and produced in Germany, 'Enter the Forest' thus strikes a chord with the times."
