TRANSITION

Transitory Times for Humans and Nature Humans and Nature

Fog enveloping a forest turning it into a mysterious painting, leaves slowly drifting on the surface of a pond, twigs intertwining in golden autumnal embrace, sunlight drawing distorting lines in a streamlet, multicoloured reed encircling a patch of bamboo, a lonely branch lost in a sea of horsetails.

Forced decoupling of an intimate relationship

Transition examines the relationship between humans and nature, the forced decoupling of this once so intimate relationship pointing to the destruction of both. Motives and details of landscapes altered in colour to new images as symbols of the transformative times we are now facing, as a dreamlike question of what lies hidden underneath. Of what will change and as an unnoticed symbol of silence. Through their modification and loss of relationship to their surroundings pointing to their detailed beauty and at the same time their fragility and thus, in relation to humanity, to the double bond, the inseparable community of nature and mankind.

Do we actually want nature? Or just a nicely prepared stage for our self-presentation?

We scream 'Stop Climate Change', but haven't we lost our ability to follow natures simplest rules?

The simple rules of Nature

Our once so intimate relationship has been forcefully decoupled and seems to be pointing to the impending destruction of both humans and nature.

Shouldn't we endorse Alberto Acosta's view that: 'If the exploitation of nature for the purpose of accumulating capital is to be overcome, there is all the more reason to leave the exploitation of human beings behind us. We will have to recognise that we humans, as beings of nature, are not isolated individuals, that we are part of a community, that we are ultimately community....'
