~ Landscape Reinforcement #2
Fern, plastic pot, holographic fan. | 2024
Landscape Reinforcement #2 reflects on our contemporary tendency to create simulacra representations that strive to appear more real than reality itself. A mesmerizing holographic depiction of a plant chips away at the leaves of a fern in which it is placed, highlighting a somewhat cynical observation. The work serves as a reminder that our obsession with imitating nature should not blind us to the natural world surrounding us; our pursuit of technological progress must not come at the expense of our environment.
This work was part of the group show ‘Spells and Promises’, curated by Brought together and curated by @mathias.mu and @marnixvansoom .
Co-curated by @samulsu .
The exhibition ‘Spells and Promises’ brings together seven artists who explore new technologies as artistic media, delving into the intersection of the physical and digital through a blend of fantasy and inquiry.
