Panorama is born with a very specific mission: to help create and reinforce a global consciousness regarding the different challenges we as a society face in terms of landscape and territory.

For that reason, we’ve decided to create this platform to join together artistic projects with didactic content to attempt to reach, in the easiest and most comprehensive way, this reflexion to a large part of the society.

We believe that artistic projects accompanied by specialized texts are the best tool for any person, even those who haven’t  shown interest in this subjects before, to understand how as a society we need to reflect on our relationship with landscape and territory.

With this idea Panorama aims to become a big archive where anyone can meet and consult the different authors regarding this matters. And what’s also important, to contemplate them from different points of view.

Panorama nace con una misión muy concreta: ayudar a crear/reforzar una conciencia global sobre los distintos retos que tenemos como sociedad en relación al territorio y al paisaje.

Para ello, hemos decidido crear esta plataforma que aglutina proyectos artísticos con contenidos didácticos para intentar hacer llegar, de la manera más fácil y entendedora posible, esta reflexión a un amplio conjunto de la sociedad.

Creemos que los proyectos artísticos acompañados de textos especializados son la mejor herramienta para que cualquier persona, aunque nunca antes se haya interesado por estos temas, pueda comprender que como sociedad tenemos que hacer una reflexión sobre nuestra relación con el territorio y el paisaje.

Panorama pretende con esta idea convertirse en un gran archivo donde cualquiera pueda conocer y consultar los distintos autores que trabajan en torno a estas cuestiones. Y lo que también es muy importante, contemplarlas desde distintos puntos de vista.

295 kilometers

The river Isar from mouth to source

For roughly 295 kilometers the river Isar runs from its source in the Karwendel mountain range of the Alps in Austria through Tyrol and upper and lower Bavaria in Germany until it meets with the Danube.

Away from the popular recreational areas and the pomp of Bavaria’s capital Munich, my interest lies in the ongoing transformation of the landscape, conducted by the river itself or by society. I document the forgotten and the ordinary, human traces in the constant process of reclamation by nature. Suburban non-places without history and identity have a communicative neglect within human landscapes. The absence of people in these photographs poses a question about the fleetingness of our intervention.

My project ‘295 Kilometers’ is the result of years of ranging the woods and fields along the river, wandering through its villages and cities and climbing the mountains surrounding its source. It is the result of searching for something I had in my mind but instead finding places and things I did not even look for.

Martin Friedrich, born 1975, is a photographer and filmmaker. He studied Photography at the Academy For Photographic Design in Munich. In his work he focuses on documentary and contemporary landscape projects. Mapping human interaction within the landscape is one of his main motifs. Exploring places to find their hidden stories and the traces those stories have left, his way of research uses both a long thinking process and a real hike to find undiscovered places and peculiarities.

His book ‘295 Kilometers’ was published by Another Place Press in 2022.
