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 that are untouched by the human hand. Nature, to be true, must be raw and free from human presence.

The installation work "there is no such thing as nature" collides images of organic fragments that I collected in natural reserve areas, next to a railway track, and alongside busy pedestrian walkways. The diffuse aesthetic of the textile installation defies the convenient legibility of nature photographs and let the borders between the "raw" and the made nature become fluid.
