Socionatural Assemblages

2016 - ongoing

Photography, collage

Comissions: Izolyatsia, part of “Where to from here” exhibition

In these collage series I am thinking about what is “natural” and what is “artificial”, the boundaries drawn between “nature” and “culture”, meshing it all back together, pondering, how can we learn to see the interconnectedness of all life?

Socionatural assemblages are based on a combination of the Deleuzian notion of assemblages with the Swyngedouwian concept of the socionatural. Transferred into a collage form, they blur the divide between dichotomous categories – natural and social - a nod to concerns of human and non-human co-existence.
