Dear human
By Irene Alterskjær
Dear human starts with the assumption that we have distanced ourselves from the natural world. We shape and affect the landscape around us; thus, we have become the landscape. The climate crisis and fast changes in the natural world has resulted in a need to get back to nature. This project is a series of visual experiments in various formats that aims to give a voice to the voiceless. By borrowing the voice of nature this project invites reflection and makes visible possible interactions and proximity to the biosphere. The goal is not to solve a problem, but rather start dialogue and conversation about relations that are lost.
