New Topographics

New Topographics is a re-make of an influential exhibition about new landscape photography that was taking place at the George Eastman House in Rochester (USA) in 1975. With over a 100 vintage photos of 10 photographers like Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and so on.

The New Topographics brings 10 photographers together that developed a new photographic vision on landscapes in the seventies. They had (and have) their own interests, style and methods but they shared a common fascination for the modern American landscape in which nature isn’t in the centre of the attention, but the people and the way they associate with the environment is now crucial.
