Statement
We are entering an age of “supernature” where human-made things are behaving more lifelike, and life is becoming more engineered. Humans now have the knowledge and capability to replicate amazingly complex natural ecosystems (“synthetic ecologies”). In a time of natural disasters and imperative concerns about global environmental change, these constructed spaces act as genetic refuges, laboratories, utopias.
My photographs and installations are concerned with the narrative about the dreams and implications of creating a separate “newer, better, greener” world and the efforts to control it.
