This is an unrivaled time in history.
Mega loneliness and consumption are at the forefront of our experience. We are asked to put mega trust into the banking system while mega fires destroy our homes. We experience mega music with the assistance of technology while massive lies all around us create a seemingly insurmountable mega separation.
These visual stories were partially created with AI which in itself is a representation of the state of our world.
May these stories then serve as a way to truly listen to and look into the photograph in order to find the way from the eyes to the heart.

Beate Walden, born in Frankfurt, Germany is recognized for her photographic composite artwork that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination. She is included in the winning images at the IPA Awards, the LICC Awards as well as the PX3 Paris Photo Prize. Solo shows in Los Angeles and San Miguel de Allende.

Inspired by poetry, philosophy and the foundations of human nature, Beate Walden’s photonarratives blend beauty and truth with humor and dreamlike magic — a horizon into her unique visual alchemy.
