Korte beschrijving/Annotatie

Tekst achterflap

Water, in abundance or in scarcity, is the central theme of 'Uncertain Homelands'. Nora Bibel (DE) investigates the repercussions of climate change around the world, focusing on Indonesia, Namibia, and Germany. Through a combination of drone photography of landscapes, intimate portraits of people affected by human-made climate change, and interviews, Bibel creates a layered body of work that thoughtfully engages with global interconnectivity and the mutual influence of water systems. The uncertainty lies in the question how our lives will change as a result of climate change. Uncertain Homelands is a story about the threat to our familiar way of life, but also about the resilience and diverse adaptation strategies that people use to counter it.
