Post Tourism

Post Tourism is a project that investigates how locations devastated by climatic disasters become subjects of curiosity and sites for contemplation. This project probes our collective fascination with destruction and explores the complex relationship between spectatorship and the realities of disaster. Post Tourism contains series of photographs and installation, but the research and work is still ongoing.

Launched in 2018, Post Tourism captures the transformed landscapes of regions hit by natural calamities, such as the wildfires in California and Australia, and the floods in Venice and Poland. Through my lens, I document the eerie beauty and the stark contrasts found within these scenes, highlighting the emotional and aesthetic dimensions that these landscapes evoke—admiration intertwined with a sense of dread.

This series transcends mere documentation, offering a deeper reflection on the landscapes as enduring symbols of natural cycles and human impact. These disaster-stricken sites reveal the tension between destruction and the sublime, urging viewers to reflect on the ethical implications of their fascination with such scenes.
