ABSTRACT

Visible Forces (2019 – 2020) is a visual essay that investigates the distinction between nature and culture, its evolution and further consequences.

If a bird builds a nest it’s a part of nature, but if a man builds a house it is beyond nature's definition; however, none of them is born spontaneously. Indeed, they are both results of a very elaborated construction process.

The aim of the body of work is to examine the moment of transition of a natural environment into a cultural heritage either by their application or existence in tangible outcomes such as buildings, language, works of art, historical artefacts and objects of cultural value, as well as in the natural heritage generated by the geological and industrial structures.

The series uses photography, digital scan as well as computer generated visuals as methods to explore and expand the boundaries of reality creating a sort of fictional narrative based on factual events.
