The affordances of the aerial view in environmental photography -- Introduction -- Purpose and questions -- Theory and background -- Method -- Results: Three dimensions of presencing/ absencing -- Theme 1: From above or up close - the role of distance and proximity -- Aerials create unique overview -- Aerials less emotionally engaging. In the context of an environmental crisis, photography and its related practices can be part of an emancipatory project, challenging techno-utopian solutions and envisioning alternative possibilities for sustaining life on this planet. This anthology critically addresses the geopolitics of environmental devastation from the perspective of photographers, artists, curators and theorists. The contributors engage with recent debates about the Anthropocene and the need to identify the socioeconomic and political causes of climate change. The essays question the validity of images within which ecological crisis is seen as the consequence of undifferentiated human activity |
