In nur sechzig Jahren wurde aus der verletzlichen sorbischen Landschaft ein mit tiefen Narben durchzogener Landstrich. Die vormals bessere schlesische Steinkohle wurde nach dem Krieg jenseits der Oder abgebaut und verstromt. Nun wurde hier die früher als unrentabel deklarierte Braunkohle gebraucht. Auch das ist heute schon wieder Geschichte.

Schicht für Schicht wurde in Schichten abgetragen. Es wurden im Lausitzer Revier 135 Siedlungen devastiert. Insgesamt haben hier 27.500 Menschen Haus und Hof verloren. Viele von ihnen arbeiteten im Revier. Sie erfüllten Pläne und lieferten zuverlässig auch unter widrigen Bedingungen die Braunkohle in die Kraftwerke für die Energieversorgung der Republik.

Kein Stein blieb hier auf dem anderen.

...

In just sixty years, the vulnerable Sorbian landscape was transformed into a deeply scarred region. After the war, the formerly better Silesian hard coal was mined and converted into electricity on the other side of the Oder. Now the lignite, which had previously been declared unprofitable, was needed here. Today, that too is history.

Layer after layer was removed. In the Lusatian mining district, 135 settlements were devastated. A total of 27,500 people lost their homes and farms here. Many of them worked in the mining district. They fulfilled plans and reliably delivered lignite to the power plants that supplied the country's energy, even under adverse conditions.

No stone was left unturned here.

Schicht für Schicht wurde in Schichten abgetragen. Es wurden im Lausitzer Revier 135 Siedlungen devastiert. Insgesamt haben hier 27.500 Menschen Haus und Hof verloren. Viele von ihnen arbeiteten im Revier. Sie erfüllten Pläne und lieferten zuverlässig auch unter widrigen Bedingungen die Braunkohle in die Kraftwerke für die Energieversorgung.

In nur fünfzig Jahren wurde aus dieser verletzlichen sorbischen Landschaft ein mit tiefen Narben durchzogener Landstrich. Die früher als unrentabel deklarierte Braunkohle wurde gebraucht. Die bessere schlesische Steinkohle wurde nach dem Krieg in einem anderen Land abgebaut und verstromt. Heute sollen andere Energiequellen erschlossen werden.

Heute erinnert, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen, nur eine Seenlandschaft mit begrünten Halden sowie neue Dörfer und Stadtteile an die Umschichtungen. Die nun schon alten Heldengeschichten aus dem Revier, aber auch die Entbehrungen und Verletzungen bleiben jedoch in den Erzählungen der Familien.

Kein Stein blieb auf dem anderen.

San Quentin 1981-83

In the minimum security block of the prison inmates were allowed to decorate their cells w/ items from home, but when a new warden took over the prison these cells were stripped bare. Later, some of Ruth Morgan's photos were used in court to help improve conditions at the prison

"Out of Season" documents the emptiness and stillness of the La Safor coast in winter. A photographic work on absence, transience, and the emotional beauty of spaces immersed in lethargy until the return of summer.

Invisible Jumpers

Photographer Joseph Ford and knitter Nina Dodd have for the last several years worked on their collaborative project called Invisible Jumpers, in which Dodd would knit a garment that blends in with a chosen environment and then Ford would photograph the wearer. The book was published in 2019 ... but the project continues adding animals, arists, musicians to the project. As Ford explains:

"The locations have to be eye-catching but simple enough to be able to be knitted. They also have to be places that aren’t going to change too fast, as the knitting takes a few weeks...

Once I’ve found the location, I photograph someone standing where I would like the model to be in the final picture. I draw over this scouting photograph and annotate the picture with different colors and patterns so Nina can plan how to knit. Often there are 10 or 12 different shades of yarn in a single picture, and up to 24 balls of wool at any one time for the more complicated designs. The choice of yarn has varied according to the background."
