This prize-winning series is a documentation of nuclear power plants throughout Europe. The detailed images are in the style of industrial photography and show the power plants together with their surrounding landscapes. This results in both humour and irony, since the foreground of the pictures reveals the different ways in which landscape is used: a new housing development, leisure parks, a public beach, tennis courts, and so on. In this series, humour is a product not of words but of images in which near and far have been brought together. The unconventional editing ensures that landscape photography and social criticism play an equally strong role. The photographs of landscapes in all seasons and from all parts of Europe are exceedingly well printed and the colours are precisely reproduced.
