Micro-Landscapes of the Anthropocene

Annotation - Jennifer (z5207747)

When looking closely at the pictures above and the descriptions, I was reminded of Timothy Moreton’s idea of Ecomimesis. With the close attention to place over subjectivity, the images evoked the situatedness of the image. A prime example of this is the first image of the streets of Redfern in which the element of the medial is used to focus on the foreground rather than the background. It is evident that the street is mainly concealed with moss, bushes, trees, and dirt. However, amongst nature humanity creates shelter, cars, and pathways using the earth’s materials. By seeing the clear relationship of humanity and nature, a harmonious image is generated.

2. Parramatta River Nature surrounds us wherever we are. In this image taken at a hike I did at Parramatta River, I was fascinated by how a place like this could exist in a populated city. The rocks, dirt, trees, and few animals live freely in this area giving a unique sense of liveliness no where seen in the bustling city. No signs of human interruption are present in the image other than the one taking the image. I felt as if I was intruding and was not supposed to be there. Despite this, I took the image to capture the traditional naturalness of the river and the life that surrounded it that was so peaceful.
