Ojo de Pez magazine, No 8, La Fabrica, Madrid

• Guest Photo Editor

  • 2006 - 2006

  The core of OjodePez has always been the guest photo editor, who has been called from around the world to provide his/her own photographic view of a chosen theme. Coinciding with the rural-urban shift in 2007, where for the first time in human history, the majority of people were living in the cities rather than countryside, Tina Ahrens concentrated on the theme "The Fall of the Nature". The presented works reflect the mutations in the landscape inflicted by man, the fast growth of the mega cities, the rural exodus, the disappearance of traditional culture in the wake of modernization. Among the portfolios are the studies of Edward Burtynsky, Stephen Dupont, Paolo Pellegrin, Trent Parke, Olivier Culmann, Erika Larsen, Thomas Kern, Tamas Dezso, Guy Tillim and the Argos Collective.
