EXHIBIT: Wawi Navarroza “DOMINION” in TERRA COGNITA: Noorderlicht Photo Festival 2012, Museum Belvédère, Netherlands


Noorderlicht Photo Festival  2012  Terra Cognita features Wawi Navarroza’s ”DOMINION“ at Museum Belvédère, Heerenveen/Oranjewoud, Holland, from 2 September – 7 October 2012.

The 19th Noorderlicht International Photofestival Terra Cognita is a photography exhibition about the relation between man and nature. How do we experience nature, and what is its value for us? Our romantic longing for pure nature is diametrically opposed to the practical desire to control the world and cultivate it. Terra Cognita looks at nature far away and close by, as a dream and as reality – nature in our genes, and in our minds.

Work by 115 photographers from 36 countries has been selected for this Festival. The photography is diverse, and flows across the limits of genres. Whether the work is documentary or staged, nature appears to be a vital source of inspiration for photographers. Their visual statements take us along on a journey through a fantastic world.

The 2012 Noorderlicht Photofestival will take place in the Frisian landscape, in interior spaces and outdoor areas. The central location is Museum Belvédère in Heerenveen/Oranjewoud. Museum Belvédère lies in the Museum Park, on the Oranjewoud estate, with splendid gardens and water features and a rich cultural history.
