What is Next Nature?

With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.

20 years after Chernobyl

Pripyat was built as a town for workers at the Chernobyl power station, where the world’s worst nuclear accident occurred 20 years ago. The town was abandoned 36 hours after the explosion.
Nature has been reclaiming the abandoned town. Wild boars roam the streets at night. Birch trees have been shooting up at random, even inside some apartment blocks.

It’s literally culture becoming nature. See the whole series here.

    “Wild boars roam the streets at night”, wow that’s just like home in Stockholm.
