About the artwork

Klaus Leidorf owes the title of ?aerial archaeologist? to over two decades of flights aboard his Cessna 172, a touristic airplane that he flies himself and that has enabled him to photograph human remains within the Bavarian natural environment from the air. ?When I take the plane and I see the world from above, I?m no longer concerned about petty things. I?m calm,? he explains. Like Yann Arthus-Bertrand, the artist observes the Earth from a surprising angle, except that his landscapes reflect a surrealistic world, owing to the use of perspective and shifts in scale. Whether assembled in the grandstands of a football stadium or in the water of a public swimming pool, people appear minute. Klaus Leidorf takes to the skies to take stock of how small our species really is, in the face of the immensity of the world.
