In the age of constant questioning of the connection between us, humans, and the nature that surrounds us, the HUMANATURE exhibition came to being as a subconscious selection of images that represent the current mood of such conversations. Through the images that were created in different places and environments, it delivers the cohesive image of our relationship with the world, both natural and man-made. HUMANATURE does not deliver an answer or points towards a certain issue, but rather stays ambiguous in its outlook and leaves the interpretation to the spectator.
HUMANATURE started with an interest in tourist’s behaviour in nature – (photographs made during artists’ residency in Iceland, 2018).
