Micro-Landscapes of the Anthropocene

Nature & its images - Matthew Dedes week 1


Nature’s relationship with humanity has been at the forefront of much debate throughout historiography. Nature plays such an imperative role in understanding the differences and challenges that the outside world poses, using natures marginalised worlds as an ongoing representation of the differing relationships of certain practices, ethics, morals and or values. The underlying colour schematic of the proposed marginalised world, captured through an ironic small lens, focuses primarily on what is perceived at the centre of the picture rather the natural landscape, further from a marginalised point of view. The relationship between humanity and the marginalised world can be shown through the use of the natural landscape which adheres to the messages needed to be heard from all humanity. Nature and the marginalised world offer variances in perspectives towards many differing schools of thought, whether it be morally or ethical divided over time nature and marginalised worlds promote the very essence of right and wrong. Often nature can encapsulate the very ways in which an author wishes to enlighten a certain mood or even begin a conversation. Throughout the above pictures, that accompany such texts, they create a level of interest and intent based on the particular conversation. For example, the picture of the aboriginal flag and the text which companies it, go hand in hand. The relationship that nature has with this image provides responders with a view of contemporary landscapes but also sends the message that originally, it was in fact Aboriginal land. This strong message is exactly why art and nature are two factors which correspond with one another.
