Booth Event – Book Signing: Zak van Biljon

Zak van Biljon goes beyond the visible spectrum to open up a new, fascinating view of nature’s wonders. In “Modernising Nature”, he uses the technique of near-infrared photography, originally developed for military and agricultural applications. This method allows him to capture the invisible energy reflected by vegetation, unveiling aspects of the natural world that lie hidden to the human eye. The result is a series of mesmerizing images that glow in electric pinks, deep reds, and vibrant violets—an unexpected, otherworldly palette that challenges our ingrained expectations of landscape photography. The power of van Biljon’s work lies in its ability to both seduce and unsettle. In an era marked by digital saturation and growing environmental alienation, his images act as visual catalysts, urging us to look again—more attentively, more curiously—at the world around us.

Zak van Biljon is a landscape and fine art photographer, born in South Africa and now based in Switzerland.
