How do we look at a photograph of a place when there are no anchor points? How do we approach the surface of a landscape, rendered flat in an image, when there is no significant horizon, or when there are no trees for scale? Onto what do we cling our gaze? (Rocks, solid as they may be, are deceptive in size and therefore unreliable.)

Where do our eyes land, coming down from somewhere above? (Stefan Vanthuyne)

Els Martens (°1978) is a visual artist and an art teacher, working and living in Belgium. The starting point for her photography is the landscape as a physical, mental and social space and the sensitive relationship between these aspects.
