About this photograph :
Ants #2
The Ants series was produced in 2008 in Fuerteventura (Spain) as well as in Laax (Switzerland). In this series, Steffen follows an instinct which contradicts that of the anthropomorphist holiday snapshot: the human beings don’t seem on our scale, but on the same one as the landscapes: simple ants which appear to aimlessly drift, without unity.
About the artist :
Steffen
Schulte-Lippern
At 30 years old, Steffen Schulte-Lippern is a fashion photographer in the German region of Sauerland.For several years, alongside this activity, he has carried out his own work about the interaction of Man with his environment. With an interest in nature from a very young age, when he received his first camera at 15 years old, it was to photograph only one subject: clouds; several hundred in several months… His artistic work can be interpreted as a question about the transformation of nature by Man in the framework of our society of leisure. Nature seems to be domesticated, sanitized and polished in the one goal of satisfying our winter or summer pleasures.
