The exhibition “Ecology and Art” is dedicated to exploring the interactions between humans and nature, as well as the impact of informational pressure on our perception of the surrounding world. The artists view the ecosystem as something more than just a natural landscape, incorporating social, informational, and emotional aspects that are interconnected and influence one another.
One of the key questions raised by the exhibition is vulnerability—both of natural ecosystems and of humans in the face of modern global challenges. The artists draw attention to the degradation of natural resources such as coral reefs, the consequences of climate change, and the threats posed by the irrational use of resources. The works emphasize that ecological disasters are inextricably linked to human actions, and this influence has long-lasting effects on the planet.
At the heart of the exhibition is the theme of recycling and transformation. The artists not only depict destruction and depletion but also explore the possibility of regeneration, recovery, and recycling in both natural and social processes. Waste and discarded objects gain new meaning, transforming into works of art that highlight our ability to find value in the forgotten and discarded. This approach serves as a reminder of the importance of conscious consumption and the responsibility for ecological consequences.
The exhibition “Ecology and Art” aims to show that ecosystems, whether natural or social, are incredibly fragile and require a careful and thoughtful approach. Its goal is to provoke reflection on how our behavior, consumption, and interaction with the environment reflect on both global and personal processes. Through the works presented, the exhibition emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between destruction and restoration, as well as the awareness that all of our actions have an impact on the world around us.
