In her award-winning project based on Thomas Nagel's influential essay What Is It Like to Be a Bat?, Lisa Barnard explores the question of how technologies influence human perception and shape our relationship with the environment.
Using a variety of innovative imaging techniques, she presents a comprehensive artistic research into the principle of echolocation. In doing so, she surprisingly links topics such as animal consciousness, autonomous driving systems, lithium mining and nuclear test sites.
Using three case studies in Ecuador, Isadora Romero examines the relationship between humans and forests across different time levels - past, present and future. Her work questions colonial perspectives on tropical forests and combines classic documentary photography with organic materials and experimental development processes.
The results show possibilities for sustainable coexistence between the environment and its inhabitants. Through collaboration with scientists and local communities, a multi-layered narrative emerges that illuminates the spiritual, political and ecological dimensions of the forest.
The double exhibition will be shown as part of After Nature. Ulrike Crespo Photography Prize 25 presented for the first time at C/O Berlin in Amerika Haus.
A cooperation between C/O Berlin and the Crespo Foundation.
