LOBBY offers a window into the European climate lobby. In an attempt to enhance the visibility and transparency of the world of lobbying, I asked 122 interest groups for permission to take a photograph of the lobbies of their Brussels-based offices. The book combines image and text and invites the viewer to navigate a labyrinth of lobbies ranging from companies, consultancies and trade associations to NGO’s, labour unions and religious groups. Who granted me access and who denied? LOBBY shows who seeks to influence policy-making in a time when climate change is permeating all domains of society.

During the making of LOBBY, I created a separate series featuring plants carefully placed in the main lobbies of the buildings that I visited. To support the campaign, you can order one or more of these framed or unframed prints.
