Another way of collaboration among the member-states of the European Union is the exhibition by photographic artists from EU countries titled What Lies Beneath: Nature and Urban Landscape. The photographs present a concise survey of contemporary developments in landscape photography, explored through the lens of 20 EU photographers. While many of these photographers draw on the landscape traditions of the past, their responses are formed by an awareness of our precarious relationship to nature, to the environment. Holding up the mirror to the world, these images ask:»What are you doing with our land?« All the images chosen ask us take a second look, whether at the familiar or the sublime. The exhibition was opened on November 7 in The House of Sweden. in Washington. Slovenia is represented by the young, talented photographer Miha Strukelj.This exhibition of works by both renowned and emerging photographers, curated by Judith Turner- Yamamoto, brings a diverse array of modern European artistic sensitivity to the Washington, DC, metropolitan community. Over twenty EU photographers explore the nuances of natural and artificial environments. They look beyond pictorial documentation to capture images animated by light, form and pattern that resonate with references to a human presence that is felt, if not seen. Space is not only described, but mysteriously enlivened, evoking emotional rather than rational responses and becoming meditations on space itself. The exhibition will remain open until November 22.
