Influenced by the profound consequences that natural disasters, climate change, and human impact has on our planet, Nature is Greater Than Us is an experimental art research project investigating and responding to people’s personal stories who have been recently affected by environmental destruction in disasters around the world. The work will unfold in the pop-up space over the course of a few months, inviting artists and the public to engage with the multimedia work as it develops.
The research will begin with interviews of people personally involved in specific events, for example the Porto Alegre floods in Brazil and the Los Angeles fires in the USA. Adopting a mixed-media approach, the conversations will be translated to multiple formats: audio recordings, photographs, message transcripts, illustrations, paintings, found objects, and other methods the artists may choose. The research will aim to investigate the context around these events, consult professional opinions with politicians & climate specialists, question humanity’s role & relationship to nature, consider potential action that can be taken, and contemplate where we go from here.
The project is intended to be an open space for experimentation in how these stories can be translated into art. Other artists are invited to collaborate in the pop-up over the 2-3 months, contributing their own ideas, research and art to enrich the project. The space will double as a research container at the same time as an exhibition space, developing as the project progresses.
