Curator’s Statement
WE ALTER NATURE
Documentary photography is a powerful medium to both celebrate nature and scrutinise the massive human impact on our environment. This showcase of 15 documentary photo projects for the 2016 Angkor Photo Festival makes the large-scale degradation of our natural habitat and the endangerment of its species visible while juxtaposing it with close-ups and zoom-outs of intact nature and photo projects about human needs and habits.
By bringing together the work of some world-renowned documentary photographers including Ingo Arndt, Daniel Beltrá, Edward Burtynsky, Alejandro Durán, Chris Jordan, Daesung Lee, Kadir van Lohuizen, Maskbook project, Paolo Marchetti, Peter Menzel, Simon Norfolk, Joel Sartore, Henk Wildschut and Li Zhiguo my point is to show that the way and the speed at which we’re altering the world’s flora and fauna is stunning and unsustainable.
