man V nature

Argentina, 2023

Exhibited in Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz

On the way to the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina, long known as one of the few stable glaciers, the tour guide explains that it is currently melting rapidly and possibly irreversibly due to climate change. I step off the boat and join a crowd of people eager to see our third-largest source of water in person. With every CO-2 filled breath I exhale, I feel actively complicit.

 

Every photo in the series man V nature tells a similar story. If we are part of nature, is our current exploitative relationship with it an act of suicide? We need nature—does it need us? man V nature challenges the assumption that our need for nature – whether it be for resource or leisure – and our belief that we can control it, are greater than its power over us. The fact is: No matter what happens to us, the Earth remains.
