Performative Nature

Philipp Thier

2024

This project is looking at the relationship people have to nature. Often it seams to be of a performative kind. We associate certain activities and senses with nature whilst not allowing for these spaces to truly express themselves and strive. The design is a collection of preserved objects that can be used to experience the things we all associate with experiencing nature. The project seeks to speculate weather this is the way we want to go since the trajectory would send us there. It boils complex ecosystems down to the things we want them to do for us while presenting itself almost like a drug or a sterile detached collection.
