Burning Ground

Portraits of the Precarious Earth • In Portraits of the Precarious Earth: Environmental Melancholia, Donna Bassin explores the emotional and ecological consequences of environmental change. Bringing together landscapes from geographically distant regions, she creates composite photographs that reveal the fragility and interconnectedness of the natural world. Through layering, tearing and stitching, Bassin makes environmental damage visible while suggesting the possibility of repair. Her work examines grief, resilience and our relationship with threatened landscapes, inviting viewers to consider how sustained attention and care can shape our response to the ecological crisis.

Man Made

The Fractured Nature of Our World • In her series New American Landscape, Suzanne Theodora White examines how human activity affects the natural world. Using photographs of her Maine farm taken since 1982, she constructs dioramas that reveal changes to the land over time. For White, the physical act of crumbling, tearing and marking her photographs is a personal, performative and existential process through which she confronts what is happening to the world. Her work reflects a search for resilience and restoration, both physical and spiritual, and for beauty in what remains. “My reimagined landscapes illustrate wounds, the passage of time, our ecological crisis and our systemic cultural alienation from the natural world.”

Living in the Shadow of Fukushima • In Restricted Residence, Giles Price examines the psychological and social consequences of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. Photographed between 2017 and 2018 in the affected communities of Namie and Iitate, the series uses thermal imaging to evoke the invisible threat of radiation and the enduring uncertainty surrounding its effects. Price explores how displacement, fear and the loss of community continue to shape lives years after the disaster. His work raises questions about the human cost of nuclear energy and the long-term consequences of environmental catastrophe.

The story started in the Amazon, where we looked for solutions for those amazing trees, which it’s a pity to cut. That would be my contribution in life as a photographer, as an artist.”

Hidden Landscapes of Modern Consumption • In Supernatural, Liz Miller Kovacs explores the landscapes that sustain modern consumption—from mines and quarries to evaporation ponds—where industrial extraction creates geometric landscapes and unexpected colours. Through staged self-portraits, she examines how the exploitation of nature relates to the objectification of the feminine, revealing the vulnerability of both the human body and the environment.
