Landscape becomes stage
Photography: Print on canvas, mounting foam, 90 x 90 x 5 cm
Sculpture Herbarium: Stainless steel, photography on filament print, LEDs,
110 x 110 x 110 cm, 2024
Landscape becomes stage examines landscapes that have been designed to imitate nature rather than emerge from it. From replica forests and artificial coastlines to fabricated horizons, the work focuses on environments where ideas of nature are constructed, maintained and performed.
The photographic works document places where natural and artificial elements become increasingly difficult to distinguish. They focus on moments in which perspective, material and spatial continuity begin to shift, tracing the spatial conditions through which these landscapes are constructed.
A sculptural herbarium extends the work's interest in preservation. Rather than collecting plants, it archives fragments of artificial landscapes, treating them as specimens of environments shaped through design, maintenance and human intervention. Together, the photographic and sculptural works consider landscape as a process of continuous construction, preservation and transformation.
