Lisa Röing Baer: The Ground Crunches Beneath My Feet

Lisa Röing Baer –  The Ground Crunches Beneath My Feet

Kerber Verlag

Lisa Röing Baer’s first monograph brings together fifteen years of analogue photography that reflect on a world shaped by the slow retreat of petromodernity. While the images initially present themselves as familiar scenes of streets, interiors and landscapes, a closer reading reveals subtle signs of disruption and transition. The work examines how everyday life appears to continue unchanged even as the structures that once supported it begin to erode.

The sequencing resists linear narrative. Instead, Baer creates a network of associations in which personal and political themes intersect. The photographs move between optimism and disillusionment, allowing the past to appear as a faded imprint and the future as something unsettled. Taken as a whole, the book proposes a visual language in which certainty has given way to fragmentation.

The Ground Crunches Beneath My Feet draws attention to the fragility of the systems that shape daily experience. Through its understated approach, it encourages viewers to consider the cumulative effects of long term social and environmental shifts that are often visible only in traces.
