Abstract:
“WildArtifice is a photographic exploration of the contradictions between the human urge to control nature and the desire for wildness. The project traces the transition from 19th century landscape painting to contemporary 'New Topographics.' By contrasting pristine natural settings with elaborate human constructions, WildArtifice highlights our mixed feelings toward nature.” –Abstract
