Daniel Egger
In this episode of Biblioscapes in Discussion, I am joined by Daniel Egger to talk about his work and his zine Umbruch (Change).
"Change" is an exploration of the dramatic transformation of the forests in East Tyrol, driven by extreme weather events and their aftermath. The project documents the devastating storm damage caused by Vaia (2018), Ingmar (2019), and Virpy (2020), as well as the resulting bark beetle infestation, which further decimated the mountain forests of East Tyrol.
We also discussed a selection of Daniel’s favourite photobooks from his own bookshelf…
