Statement
This proyect reflects the relationship between humans and their enviroment , that frequently distant bond between both, as we were not part of the Natural world.
Many natural disasters result from that lack of consciousness ,and from that selfish human internvention in the enviroment, that attitude of indifference and abuse, towards the Universe, our source of life, brings a great damage.
Distopically speaking, if we don´ t recover the pre existing and intimate bond with the Earth, maybe in a not so distant future, only archive images of Nature will remain as a testimony of the existence of a living being, which we didn´ protect and respect, and as a memory to be nostalgically contemplated as mere spectators.
The shooting was made in a house under demolition and in an abandoned theater to support the idea of damage. t.
I printed the forest images on paper and hung it as a large screen .
