Opening
June 11, 5 PM

This exhibition presents artistic crystallizations of diverse positions in video art, demonstrating that the interest in landscape is not merely nostalgic, romanticized, or driven by fixed definitions. Instead, it serves as a precise metaphor for the ecological, psychological, social, political, historical, and digital conflicts of our time.

The growth of cities, industrial expansion, logistics, communication and energy networks, as well as agriculture and tourism industries have drastically altered the appearance, spatial organization, and ownership of landscapes. Cities now dominate landscapes in both appearance and function. The exhibition focuses on the urbanization of landscapes, the capitalization and disappearance of natural spaces, and the present and future consequences of these changes.
