The Making of the “People, Nature, Future” Photo Art Project.
The exhibition People, Nature, Future, featuring the Scandinavian artist duo Riitta Ikonen and Karoline Hjorth, was accompanied by two photoshoots organised by Ingrid Rügemer as part of her activities within the former non-profit organisation Symbio(s)cene.
The photoshoots took place at the Oberföhringer Forest, where the collaborators Tina and Michael were adorned with sculptural structures crafted from natural materials found on-site. The ongoing photo art project Eyes as Big as Plates explores the relationship between humans and their surroundings and seeks to strengthen our connection to the natural world.
The following two portraits are now part of the artist duo’s collection and will be included in the project’s next book and upcoming exhibitions.

The Artistic Process
The following images illustrate the artistic process of the duo: from the initial walks and conversations, through the collection of natural materials and the creation of wearable sculptures, to the photoshoot in the chosen setting along the River Isar (Munich, Oberföhring).
