Paradis perdu I

In this series, Bernhard Hartmann focuses on forgotten gardens to get away from munificent interiors devoid of spectators to reveal a world of open skies. Bernhard Hartmann’s melancholic images once again stem from his frenetic, quasi-obsessional and poetic search, as he immortalises abandoned sites on his travels. Here, nature gradually reclaims its stake, overrunning spaces that seem to have been forgotten by civilisation. They brave the passage of time, welcoming silence, after the memories left by humankind have dissipated.
