Benjamin A. Monn`s latest photo project goes under the title of “Endor” and has been named after the eponymous planet in Star Wars 2 whose forests are covered by futuristic space stations.

In Monns’ photo series, which he is developing within a work-in-progress process, the subject is real functional buildings which similarly contrast with their immediate environment. Here, the image of being implanted takes on a new, monumental dimension: humans place a building into a landscape where nothing has been built for thousands of years. Like an exotic plant in a little local garden, the building then interacts with its environment. In this situation, it is quite possible for a positive and exciting interplay to take place between architecture and nature. Far more frequently, the building and the landscape stand isolated side by side and create a totally dissonant image.

Benjamin A. Monns photograph “Candela 28” has won the fotoforum award and is featured on the cover of the fotoforum magazine issue 4/2010.

BAM wins “fotoforum award 2010” in the category abstract. The winning photograph “Candela 9” was selected out of the Candela Project Series. Another image out of “Candela Project” was published on the cover of fotoforum magazine issue 4/2010.
