We are exposed to the noise of civilization, even in remote places. I noticed this during our first trekking tour in western Greenland when my wife and I were completely alone with our backpacks, our tent, and our food for weeks. There's nothing but an empty landscape.   According to the German news magazine Der Spiegel, almost one in two people nowadays feel annoyed by the noise. The US political magazine The New Republic writes, “Sound is ambient, elusive, enveloping. Even the softest drone can echo cacophonously if it worms itself into your head.“   More than seven billion people live on earth, and that number is growing. The earth is heating up, and with it, sea levels are rising. Storms are becoming wilder, droughts longer, and water scarcer. Writer T.C. Boyle described the most powerful man in the world as a clown. The Doomsday Clock of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is at two minutes before twelve. The clock was only once nearer to twelve, which was in 1950 - the world was then on the brink of an atomic war.   At that time, Swiss philosopher Max Picard wrote: “Nothing has changed the nature of man as much as the loss of silence.” More than 100 years before him, German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer stated: “Noise is the most impertinent of all forms of interruption; it is not only an interruption but also a disruption of thought.” Today? Silence has become a luxury. We are even willing to pay money for services and products that promise silence.   I capture silent moments with my camera. The simpler the subjects, the better. It is quite possible that this is an escape from reality, but I believe noise is a troublemaker that reduces the quality of life.   Important in my project are silent locations that are accessible by foot. To locate such places is one thing; to be there at the right time is another. In all cases, my method of photographing reduces life to what fits in my backpack.
