Andréas Lang: Nachtigal Falls, Cameroon 2012. River landscape with the Nachtigal Falls, named after the explorer Gustav Nachtigal, who took possession of Cameroon as a colony for the German Empire in 1884. The image is part of the project “Cameroon and Kongo. A search of traces and Phantom Geography” in which Andréas Lang researched on the history of his great-grandfather and German colonialism. The figure on the back is deliberately reminiscent of a painting by C.D. Friedrich and thus also thematises the visual appropriation of a landscape by the photographer.
