MÄANDERTAL

meandering around meander valley


Water meanders from the source down the valley. I meander around as well and capture glitched landscapes in this book. Sometimes people appear and do things. They don’t want to understand their connection to nature. On the slippery slope, the vegetation withers. Don’t wait for me. The water didn’t reach the valley. Public fountains stay dry. The meandering direction is always downwards.


Prepare to dive with me in the meanders of a curve-bent geography.
