FINDING THE LANDSCAPE

Carlos Vin Lopes
2026

“Now I am giving a landscape a name, a place, a location.” The documentary Finding the Landscape explores the renewed encounter between photographer Chrystel Lebas and the area surrounding Wittenberg, in the German region of Saxony-Anhalt. Through long-exposure and panoramic film photography, Lebas documents and reveals transformations in the natural environment shaped by ecological and human interactions. Originally invited to investigate the region through a map dating from 1723, the artist returns to the site with an exhibition of her large-format photographs, reflecting on themes of climate change, nature, and global warming. Filmed primarily on 16mm, the short documentary follows the exhibition inside the Hofgestüt complex in Bleesern, a Baroque-era stable house that once served as a centre of economic power and is now being transformed into a cultural venue. Immersed in the artist’s creative process, we are invited to see the landscape through a different lens and to reflect on the role of artists in recording environmental change.
