The prevalence of seeight, of seeing rather than feeling. The abuse of reality through images makes life itself a simulation. This can lead to a disassociation from reality. The look of Inez Baturo, however, has an innocence itself in representing the will of being in nature. This makes the truth less allusive and almost whispered gently. The selected images are taken from different series: Beskidy, Tatry, Pieniny, Konie. The remaining words are of Inez.

«There is enough horror, human stupidity, violence, indifference… in the surrounding world. Nature may be an escape, a come back to the source of humanity.»
«I find in landscape remnants of freedom, kindness, harmony, and beauty, which people do not esteem nowadays, but which they anyway seem to lack. I want to say, aware that it is not popular nowadays, that we should cherish for life and beauty.»
«Landscape gives a chance to show emotions above details. It is a measure of sensibility, and the art of seeing. The concrete is transformed into the general, colour is diffused and unreal. But I do not mean to show the outer world only. Photographing landscape - I represent myself. It is my intimate self-portrait.»
