“Bioland” is an exploration of the human impact on our planet – population growth, industrialization, and technological advancement affecting the lives of living organisms across the globe. Anthropocentrism places humans as the central or most important beings in the universe and assumes that nature exists primarily for human use and exploitation. This belief creates a division between humans and nature, forming a conceptual boundary shaped by cultural, philosophical, and scientific theories.
“Bioland” attempts to distort this perceived separation. The project serves as a commentary on the climate crisis from a unique perspective – that of those most affected by it, yet often overlooked – the voiceless beings of the natural world.
"Parables function like glass dioramas in natural history museums; you walk by, you look, you believe that what is contained in the scene filled with fabricated animals has something to tell you, but only through the logic of metaphor: because you are not a stuffed animal and you do not live in that scene, but outside it: on the outside: observing, not participating.
That logic is bent by global warming, as it narrows the perceived distance between humans and nature, between you and the diorama."
