Estrangement from nature is a part of our self-definition. This mode specifies the evolution of our culture and prevents us from viewing the world without drawing the border of the human-made, it consturcts cameras. The lenses stare into nature like strangers. These lenses, however, allow seeing the beauty of plants, insects, beasts or microorganisms and poeticness of their ecology. Weird exotic double estrangement. Nature estranges itself to be reconciled again.
"I want to sharpen ecological confidence through classic cultural patterns such as still life. They do not pretend to tell stories but can be easily detected as a cause to contemplate, as a cause of a friendly relationship with any piece of nature."
The project "Estrangement and Beasts" has been developed within the Master of Science in Synthetic Landscapes at SCI-arc.
