Hahn+Hartung
The Beauty and the Beast
Indonesia is known as the “ring of fire”, and is regularly affected by earthquakes, volcano eruptions and tsunamis. Yet the Ring of Fire does not only bring death and destruction. Farmers move next to volcanoes because the soil is specially fertile due to the volcano-ashes. Eruption matter is also sold as high-quality building material. Tourists visit destroyed villages or lie with all-inclusive cocktails in the sun on tsunami-endangered beaches.
Hahn+Hartung is a photographer duo based in Berlin composed by Miguel Hahn (Heidelberg, Germany, 1982, and Jan-Christoph Hartung (Erbach, Germany, 1983).
