THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS NATURE

The work reflects on anthropocentric perceptions and fictions of nature in western culture. Although we live in times where humans have altered earth to a very large extent, we still tend to romanticize environments which are untouched by the human hand. Nature, to be true, must be raw and unspoiled.

For this image-based installation, I collected visual fragments of organic materials in natural reserve areas, next to a railway track and alongside busy pedestrian walkways. Those images are printed on textile fabrics to create a diffuse and fictional nature landscape. 

The installation is part of my ongoing research on the use of photography to create three-dimensional spaces which can be experienced by the practice of walking.
