Back to Nature is to be where nothing else counts and exists than the moment and the place where you are; where an hour lasts a full day, where pollution is an unknown word; it is to be in a vast land of exceptional quality that has remained as natural as it was at in the beginnings of time, where man is rarely seen, where the air is odourless, the rain a beverage and the celestial bodies companions. Once you are there, there is no 'elsewhere', only a horizon beyond which you don’t want to see.
‘Back to nature’ is a photographic journey through Mongolia, with Swiss photographer Marc Progin, that bypasses the walls of societies and the cities to enlarge our horizon and reconnect with the 3 worlds that are the sky, the earth and nature. It is at the same time while travelling in open space, to enter your inner self; to discover the beauties of nature and awaken those who sleep in you. It is to find the human essence, from where we came from and to give a reason to our life, learn for what else we are on earth than to live.
Travelling the seasons, across the deserts, the mountains and the Steppe, you will meet on the way with nomads, the wildlife, migrating birds, the hunters and ride on camel or horse back along with their caravans. To sum up, Back to Nature is meant to start your mother clock, the one that nature had given you at birth. Have a nice journey.
