Photography that sharpens the view

The works of Khalil Noé Döring trace the tracks of European coal logistics from the Dutch coast to the Ruhr area. According to LWL, the series documents people, work environments, and processes that typically remain hidden in everyday life. This results in a unique event experience: factual, close-up, and full of atmosphere. ([lwl.org](https://www.lwl.org/pressemitteilungen/nr_mitteilung.php?urlID=63343&utm_source=openai))
