Aerial Inspiration



The film 'Home', among other work by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, is a great example of where aerial perspectives can bring a sense of reflection and global unity to an audience. His images are both illustrative and emotive relating human interactions with a landscape which is often vast and alien looking from above.

There is a strong element of simple truth-telling in his work which gives it some extent of universal appeal. Despite this his later work has become increasingly politically strategical. He is a vocal ecological activist and founded the umbrella organisation GoodPlanet.org which is concerned with climate change issues and the protection of biodiversity.

Home was released for free and can be streamed here.
