À propos du livre
Johannes Zits brings to a long tradition of portraiture a new human component that transmits a powerful if subtle political message. Like the woman burrowing through a tangle of roots, Zits’ photographs contain within them an element of subversion. His figures and their environment are so well proportioned as to be a single entity. While this idea of our co-dependence with the natural world we live in is hardly news, like the body itself, there is much in our culture to indicate that we all but constantly overlook it. The problem with this obtuseness is easy to comprehend: it risks a collective march towards the precipice. In his work, Zits finds a way to mitigate this tendency by showing us how we might take a step back and see ourselves as we are: just a small if integral part of the larger picture.
