Image Ecology is a catalogue to the exhibition of the same name which offers a survey of new approaches to environmental photography.

In an attempt to document the systemic causes of the climate crisis, works in the exhibition explore their own material and social conditions. The exhibition disentangles photography as an ecological practice, a medium that is defined as much by the nexus of material, labour, energy and waste that its production and circulation require as by what it represents. 

The book is compiled by Boaz Levin, a writer and curator based in Berlin and of Cabinet magazine's format Kiosk, and Kathrin Schönegg, a historian of photography who works as a head of programming and curator at the C/O Berlin Foundation. It also features an extensive essay by environmental historian Jason W. Moore, and contributions by over a dozen international writers.
