Titled “Capturing the Planet’s Stories with Mattias Klum”, the conversation explores long-term fieldwork, visual storytelling, and the responsibility that comes with documenting our changing planet. Mattias reflects on experiences from across decades of work, including spending 14 months in the rainforests of Borneo—several of them living high in the treetops—while working on a single story.
In the episode, Mattias speaks about patience, trust, and presence as essential elements of meaningful storytelling, and about the power of images and films to create understanding, empathy, and engagement across cultures. The discussion also touches on how creative work can support conservation efforts and inspire action at a time of profound global change.
The episode is available in English and can now be streamed on Spotify.
