- It's real?! -
Bei diesem Projekt dreht sich alles um Fotografie. Diese Zeitung ist durch Teamarbeit mit meinen Kommilitonen entstanden. Jeder Student durfte sechs Seiten gestalten.
"It's real?! Abbild und Wirklichkeit", das war das Thema unseres fotografischen Projekts.
Ich habe mich mit dem Thema "Urban Exploring" beschäftigt.
Was ist Urban Exploring?
Bei Urban Exploration oder Urban Exploring werden so genannte "Lost Places" erkundet und fotografisch dokumentiert. Der Begriff wird für städtische Räumlichkeiten, die jedoch für die Öffentlichkeit in der Regel unzugänglich sind, verwendet. Darunter fallen Örtlichkeiten wie alte Industrieruinen, stillgelegte Militärgelände, verfallene Theater, vermoderte Psychiatrien, Kirchenruinen oder andere ungenutzte Einrichtungen. Ein beiläufiges Thema welches Urban Explorer besonders interessiert ist die "Rückeroberung" solcher Gebäude durch die Natur. Der Kontrast zwischen Architektur und der eintretenden Verwilderung, durch Pflanzen und Bäume wirkt fast schon inszeniert. Neben der Entdeckung und Dokumentation der "Lost Places" liegt die Motivation dieses Projektes in der Ästhetik und der surrealen Wirkung, sowie in einer historisch-authentischen Atmosphäre, die jene Orte mit sich bringen. Ein wesentliches Moment ist die Erforschung der letzten historischen und geheimnisvollen Orte. Das Projekt erinnert den Leser an die Existenz solcher Gebäude und Lokalitäten, es soll ihm die surreale Wirkung übermitteln und die Wichtigkeit jener "Lost Places" aufzeigen.
This project is all about photography. This newspaper was created through teamwork with my fellow students. Each student was allowed to design six pages. "It's real?! Image and reality", that was the theme of our photographic project. I habe dealt with the topic "Urban Exploring".
What is urban exploration?
In Urban Exploration or Urban Exploring, so called "Lost Places" are explored and photographically documented. The term is used for urban spaces which are, however, generally inaccessible to the public. These include sites such as old industrial ruins, disused military sites, dilapidated theatres, decaying psychiatric institutions, church ruins or other unused facilities. An incidental topic that Urban Explorer are particulary interested in is the "recapture" of such buildings by nature. The contrast between architecture and the occurring overgrowth, trough plants and trees, almost seems staged. In addition to the discovery and documentation of the "Lost Places" the motivation of this project lies in the aesthetics and surreal effect, as well as in the historically authentic atmosphere that these places bring with them. An essential moment is the exploration of the last historical and mysterious places. The project reminds the reader of the existence of such buildings and localities, it should convey the surreal effect and show the importance of these "Lost Places".
