Chemistry of a landscape is a large format longterm project documenting the landscape of the bavarian chemical delta, a region in southeast germany largely known for its high density of chemical industry. while this industry sector defines the landscape of the area, the rest of the region is largely rural. Chemistry of a landscape is set out to document this ambiguity. The region serves as an exemplary case study for the inextricable intertwining of human activity and landscape design. Through the lens of a 4×5 camera, this project explores this cultural landscape, documenting its shape, the influence of the chemical industry on the land and the transformation of our environment in the age of the anthropscene. The final project is a photobook consisting of 25 black and white prints, as well as an essay on cultural landscape and comments on the evolution of landscape photography. The project is part of my Bachelors Thesis at the Hochschule münchen which I graduated from in 2026.
