Endangered species (2023)

installation / found tree parts, cables / 204 x 175 x 140 cm

Through the interweaving and juxtaposition of cables and branches, the project explores how patterns from nature manifest themselves in technology, and how, as technology develops, we are increasingly drawn to forests and other natural spaces, where we seek to escape from everyday life and the rapidly changing world.

In this project, I have used the combination of technological and natural elements, which in both cases act as connecting parts of complex systems, as a way of emphasising the contemporary need to reconnect with nature. Today, we often use natural spaces in a similar way to museum institutions. Forests and parks are becoming places of contemplation, learning and self-reflection, spaces in which we seek experiences that are increasingly difficult to find in a technologically mediated environment.
