"Compared to conflict zones in which I have worked for other projects, human arbitrariness, mines, weapons, etc. played less of a role here," photographer Gregor Sailer tells the Phoblographer. "Even most of the places I visited have been restricted areas; I was relatively safe.
" Gregor documented a fascinating new area called the Polar Silk Road. As global warming persists, new trade routes with access to oil and gas extraction have opened up. It's become a conflict zone, too. Gregor's documentary photography of the region is part of an exhibit at the Natural History Museum in London, opening in late May 2023. The work is compositionally and topically fascinating. . thephoblographer.com
