Issue #15, Place Submissions - Bärbel Praun

To celebrate Issue #15, Place, we asked photographers about their notion of place and how it has impacted their work physically, mentally, and emotionally. Over the next few weeks until September 18th, we will be posting some of the wonderful responses that we’ve gotten. Stay tuned on our Instagram & Twitter at @museemagazine to see if your work makes the cut.

Artist Statement:
'this must be the place‘ is a personal research about land, place and home, describing my exploration, perception and interpretation of landscape, led by intuition and my emotional state. Since I‘ve never lived and worked in one place for more than some months over the last years, I have been asking myself questions about home, origin, memories and identity: how does a place/scene come into existence? By loading it with sentiments, needs, habits? Does the concept of home still have relevance in the light of countries growing together, borders disappearing, and the speed and frequency in which we travel from one place to another?
