We all know the legend of Icarus, whose father Daedalus built wings of feathers and wax for himself and his son to escape from the captivity of Minos on Crete. The son Icarus became overconfident, the wax melted and he fell into the sea. Despite his father’s warnings.
Again, the parallels: Despite warnings and admonitions, we spiral into ever higher and warmer and warmer climes, and the crash is not far away.
Okay, maybe that’s a bit drastic and striking. But true.
Here are photographed specimens of animals, most of whose species are extinct. For this series the Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen Dresden and the Leica Camera AG supported me very dedicated in my work. Thank you.
