Genius Loci – Encounter the Spirit of Forest Sites

Harald Lemke — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:15:06 +0000

“Genius loci – Forest Sites” investigates how we encounter the forest through its specific places—sites where human presence meets nature and a relationship with the forest emerges in the immediacy of the present moment. My photographs arise from such moments of encounter, when light, atmosphere and perception converge. They are not documents of landscape but traces of a singular situation that can never be repeated in exactly the same way. By acknowledging the irreducible uniqueness of each moment, the work invites reflection on the nature of place itself and on the ways places shape our perception and emotional experience.
