Korbinian Vogt, the connection of human and nature

5 years ago

Born in Munich in 1995, Korbinian Vogt discovered his passion for photography at an early age, when he was still a child.
For the past six years or so, Korbinian has been working independently, with the freedom to focus on the subjects closest to him. In fact, for some time now, his attention and his artistic research have been focalized on a recurring theme in the history of art: the connection of human and nature.

Although this theme has been part of the history of art since its origins, it was between the 18th and 19th centuries thanks to Romanticism that it became central to the artistic debate and beyond. The new concept of the sublime is often described as that feeling of awe mixed with fear that man has in front of the magnificence of nature.

Representatives of this new aesthetic became painters such as Turner and Friedrich and, looking at Korbinian Vogt’s shots, it is not difficult to find that sense of perfection and wonder that comes when man rejoins nature without wanting to control it at all costs, but allowing himself to be overwhelmed by it.

Korbinian’s photographs show young naked girls surrounded by the icy and pristine landscapes of Greenland, Norway, Iceland, but also the Alps, where we cannot help but notice the harmony created between the body and the elements of the landscape, from rocks to streams, from snow to grass.

“The works should show a timeless view of the connection of human and nature, combined with wilderness of the north.“
