ABOUT THE ARTWORK
SHELTER #1 Left+Right - GOLD AWARD Moscow International Foto Awards 2021: GOLD WINNER Fine Art Collage - series #HABITAT Hypercollage, Composite Photography Signed by Cas Slagboom Printed on High Quality Fine Art Paper HABITAT is a photographic essay committed to the balance between humans and their natural environment. I wonder what place we occupy in this ecological system. All composed of dozens of photos, creating a new reality. New moment that may be closer to the desired reality than we experience. Each individual life is connected to the lives of countless other life forms, and so they’re connected to each of us. When we no longer experience that connection, we break the connection within ourselves with the wonderful flow of life. This leads to feelings of alienation and isolation, loss of respect for our fellow human beings and depletion of our own life force, but also opens the way to exploitation of the Earth and nature. If we live consciously from connection, we will no longer destroy the life around us. You don't destroy what you feel connected to. The fact that the well-being of the earth, and thus sustainability, now require a commitment from each of us, is gradually being accepted worldwide. The current widespread crisis, characterized by problems such as climate change and the loneliness epidemic, extreme inequality and widespread lack of meaning, is understood by us as arising essentially from a loss of contact with nature.

Magnifying Beauty. I seek beauty in the way in which the combination of different images evoke an experience. For me, photography is more than capturing the perfect moment. Every time I try to capture my astonishment with a single photo, I am disappointed. This was not what I want to see and feel. It is larger, more complex, more diffuse. I have to bring all those fragments together. In compositions in which they together tell a story that transcends my understanding. So, that every time I look at it, I can be surprised again. All the photographic technology that we have to capture our world in images may give us the idea that we really "see" it. But nothing gives me more liberty than letting go of this straight way of observing, in order to experience the shortest route to wonder, and the love that follows from it. I use modern technology to find a visual language that exceeds the photographic moment, so that there is sufficient room for the complexity of what we call reality. Cas Slagboom was born in Vlissingen, Netherlands. He now works in Utrecht at The Hof van Cartesius, a special location complete circulair build, and in coöperatie with other creative sustainable artists and innovators.
