In a documentary, Jürgen Nefzger tackles subjects related to a questioning of the contemporary landscape. As a critical observer of a consumer society, he looks at landscapes marked by economic, industrial and leisure activities. Working in series, he has carried out various projects around urban areas, reflecting on environmental issues. The images construct narratives that allow an immersion in a universe always marked by human presence. Social and political issues emerge from these stories, inviting the viewer to an aesthetic experience that engages him as an individual responsible for the world in which he evolves.
