Agrarian Picturesque

The focus of this class is Nature; we question what Nature is from an environmental and aesthetic point of view. Today, it is impossible to detach our ethical debt to Nature from our aesthetic feeling for Nature. In this studio, we look at agriculture and how it has shaped and transformed our relationship with Nature. For us, agriculture will become an image of an idealized form of Nature that has been filtered through aesthetics. This image is picturesque, and its view is the field of agriculture.
