In his series Lakes and Reservoirs, artist Matthew Brandt portrays bodies of water across the United States that are subject to drought or pollution. His work, created with water from its subject in reaction with photographic emulsion on his prints, results in colourful yet violent visuals that embody the source.

"How did we all end up here? The growing world population, the mounting food and water crises, catastrophic environmental breakdown, the privatisation of the public sector, the gaping economic gulf between the privileged and the rest, racist and gender division: the infection has made clear how everything in our world is inextricably interconnected."

Douglas Mandry's work is characterized by his experimental use of historic photographic techniques and self-invented processes, through which he reconfigures depictions of our natural environment. Listen to the podcast together with Foam curator Mirjam Kooiman.
