Dorota Gawęda and Eglė Kulbokaitė: Synthetic Landscapes

The project Synthetic Landscapes aims to look into the history of the Western landscape painting tradition. Through this research Gawęda and Kulbokaitė will explore the formation of the concept of Nature as that, which has traditionally been defined as alien, outside of the subject in an effort to better understand the current ecological crisis. The project will seek to challenge the illusory promise of subjectivity as a whole and separate from the environment in order to break normative patterns of behaviour and negotiate new ways of relating to the world.
