Jim Naughten Eremozoic: The Age of Loneliness

Our image of nature is so often partial, refusing to engage with the environment’s overwhelming power and intricacy whilst erasing traces of human culpability from the narrative of our dwindling natural habitat. To reflect on how this understanding has evolved, Naughten turned to dioramas - displays designed to provide a discrete window onto nature, often used traditionally in exhibitions of natural history. He uses photography to reanimate their scenes, presented for fresh consideration in a series of defamiliarized pictures.
