Tom Hegen (Newcomer), Coal Mining Germany

The series by the German aerial photographer (born 1991) is dedicated to coal mining in Germany. The pictures, which he took from a great height, reveal the devastation of the landscape with surprising beauty, luminous colours and enthralling symmetry. From this perspective, the consequences for the landscapes, as well as the complex relationship between humanity and the environment, become all the more impressive.
