Postnatur

Freely hanging, semi-transparent textiles carry burned-in organic patterns ranging from leaves and water ripples to tree bark, allowing the layers to flow into one another. Suspended within a long interior space, the fabrics form a fragile, floating architecture. Projections of recorded sunlight and the natural light entering through the windows overlap the surfaces, creating a breathing field in which proximity, distance, and perspective constantly shift.

An abstract sound composition made from fragmented, unidentifiable natural recordings fills the space. It intensifies the presence of the white, translucent textile bodies, which evoke imitations of nature that are visible and tactile, yet artificial. The fabrics resemble pale remnants or skins, recalling a purified, emptied version of nature rather than a living one. The burned patterns appear like negative painting, voids that trace organic structures through absence.

What is nature? Humans are part of nature, yet simultaneously create a “new nature”: cities, systems, technologies, all derived from organic principles. Every human invention ultimately repeats what already exists in nature, but often in a detached, controlled, and sanitized form.

Postnatur describes a state between original nature and human-made “new nature”, interwoven and overlapping, but never fully identical. It is a space of transition where light, material, sound, and absence reveal the fragile boundary between what is natural and what is constructed.
