A female figure strolls through Loess hills in Lower Austria which form an important chronological archive for geology, archaelogy and ecology. The woman in the photographs is turned into a sensitive apparatus reading the co-presence of herself and the earth. The figure tunes in „ecological humanity“, a notion coined by Deborah Rose.
