Belgian Photographer Frederik Buyckx records his wanderings in nature in awe-inspiring, intriguing photos.
Time and again, photographer Frederik Buyckx (°1984) is drawn to places where people still live close to nature. Away from our too-comfortable society where everything is always within reach and where we have everything under control.
What does being connected to nature mean? And what if not luxury but freedom were central to human life?
In WOLF Buyckx throws all comfort overboard. For long periods spanning ten years, he spent time in the mountains in search of answers and inner peace. His wanderings are reflected in a handmade booklet given to him by his grandfather almost thirty years ago. In that fable and the accompanying drawings, Buyckx recognizes his personal search for freedom and connection with nature. On the one hand there is the indescribable beauty, which is captured in an unparalleled way in Buyckx’s images, but at the same time nature is ruthless. She does not come to order, she cannot be tamed, she cuts and she kills.
