Presentation

My work aligns with the environmental Eco- Art movement by looking into art that addresses environmental issues; from the aesthetics to the ethical. I explore the ‘techno-utopian idea’ of recreating life artificially through bioengineering and new technology, through the photographic series showing the cultivation of seeds from the remaining and endangered flora. For the degree show, I propose a presentation that mimics the windows into alternate environments. The first image shows the artificial lab with the scientifically managed germination in a diptych with the image of the artificially landscaped botanical palm house. The A1 prints will be within simple silver metal frames that replicate the muntin surrounding the window panes. ‘Don’t Touch the Glass’ poem will be transferred onto the wall next to the prints to be simultaneously read with the prints. The presentation aims to make the viewer question how natural the natural world is? And how many places within the world remain untouched and uncontrolled by human management?
