Imaginary Ecologies is the title of Martin Tscholl’s first photobook – a visual and conceptual inquiry into more-than-human worlds. The book brings together images created over several years in forests, mountainous landscapes, and marginal zones of perception. Instead of documenting nature, it invites the viewer to engage with atmospheric image spaces shaped by absence, resonance, and material presence. Tscholl’s photographs emerge from close observation, walking, and situational encounters with fungi, stones, wood, and other entities that often escape our attention. Drawing on speculative aesthetics and posthumanist thought, the work opens a visual dialogue between human and nonhuman spheres. Published in 2024 by The Eriskay Connection (Breda, Netherlands), the book is conceived as a reflective space – a sequence of images that unfolds slowly, intuitively, and associatively. It forms a visual ecology of its own – a quiet unfolding of relations, atmospheres, and sensibilities that resonate with the more-than-human world.
