I will be presenting my work-in-progress, Terrifying Sublime: Synthetic Alpine Landscapes, at Columbia University’s Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris. The project explores the reversal of our power relationship with nature since the notion of the sublime became a prominent concept in art and philosophy. Using photography, video, and archival material, I am examining how an array of forces pitted against the natural world are altering iconic landscapes beyond the point of recognition. The project is primarily funded by an Explorer’s Grant from the National Geographic Society in partnership with The VII Foundation. Seats are limited and registration is required.
