- Abstract
- BioGepMetries deals with the dangerously dysfunctional relationship between humans and nature. The photographs were initially taken as visual research on this theme, developing, as it progressed, into an autonomous project. The architectural urban environment, denoting stability, and balance is juxtaposed with the fluidity of the environments of other lifeforms, and more specifically that of the migratory arctic terns. The geometric rationalisation of anthropogenic space reveals a desire for order and control, not only on nature but on humans too, in contrast with the turbulent and chaotic ocean surface and atmospheric winds, where the birds spend most of their time. In between these two lies a third topos, that of the human made ruins, which undermines the illusion of invincibility and timelessness of our species and our creations. The photographs were taken over a period of ten years in Iceland, Hungary, Bulgaria, England, Greece, and Austria.
