For a year, the five members of the DOCKS collective photographed the places and people affected by the devastating flood disaster in Rhineland-Pfalz and Nordrhein-Westphalia in July 2021. The images of the apocalyptic landscapes, destroyed houses and exhausted survivors tell of the immense damage and fatalities caused by the flash floods, but also of the great solidarity with those affected. Nevertheless, the long-term project of the collective, which makes the lasting damage to the regions visible, can also be seen as a memorial for climate and environmental protection. Because while the Global South has been suffering from droughts and storms for many years, the consequences of climate change by soil sealing or monocultures in the Global North are only now increasing dramatically and are expected to occur more frequently in the coming decades.
