Join award-winning photographer Zed Nelson as he discusses his new work, The Anthropocene Illusion. Spanning the last six years, the project explores how, while we destroy the natural world around us, we humans have become masters of a stage-managed, artificial ‘experience’ of nature – a reassuring spectacle, an illusion. The work reveals not only a phenomenon of denial and self-delusion, but also a genuine craving for a connection to a world we have turned our back on.
Hosted by contributing photographer to The VII Foundation Ilvy Njiokiktjien, the discussion will also explore Zed’s photographic approach, driven by a critical focus on the intersection of modern capitalism and human psychology.
