Mittermeier Cristina - Amaze - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Cristina Mittermeier knows a thing or two about water. Trained as a marine biologist and a photographer the Mexico City - born Mittermeier combines her work behind the lens with her passion for environmentalism taking pictures around the world to explore our relationship to the earth and ocean and to draw attention to the beauty and the plight of our planet. In Amaze Mittermeier elicits our wonder and awe at the natural world and the labyrinth or maze of navigating a sustainable existence. The book combines two series: Enoughness and The Water's Edge. The first draws out Mittermeier's philosophy for a mindful and sustainable way of being in the world. Bringing together photographs from some of the most isolated corners of the earth the book shows wild animals remote landscapes and indigenous peoples challenging the cult of material wealth and proposing alternatives for a meaningful and sustainable connection to our environment each other and ourselves. In The Water's Edge Mittermeier presents photographs from around the globe that capture the frontier between land and ocean and the special meaning it has for human life. Whether it is fishermen bringing in their daily haul women washing laundry in the shallows or surfers frolicking in the spray the water's edge is revealed as an integral and universal space in which ephemeral moments reveal not only our common dependency on the planet but also our common humanity. As much an inspiration for sustainable living as a staggering collection of nature photography Amaze is a must - have book for all those who care about our planet and those we share it with. Text in English German and French.
