Ursula Schulz-Dornburg, THE LAND IN BETWEEN, 2018

The photographer Ursula Schulz-Dornburg (1938) concentrates as an artist on frontier landscapes, borders, places of transit, and relics of past cultures. Looking at the areas of historical or political importance passed with his images, he highlights how conflict, destruction, time and degradation transform the landscape. “The Land In-Between” combines the photographs taken between 1980 and 2012 in these middle areas, precisely, that for a period of thirty years the Schulz-Dornburg explores, visiting Armenia, Georgia, Iran , Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and, more recently, Syria to photograph the ancient city of Palmyra. His images remained the last visual documentation of the area before its destruction.
