Facing the world today the landscape has become not only a portal through which to consider traditional notions of beauty and the sublime, but also a framework to examine society, identity and ecology. Exhibition proposal aims to convey an ambiguity of space, place and time, whilst questioning the expanding footprint of human activity and reflects on the intersection of the natural and industrial worlds. Miniature landscape paintings placed in brightly-coloured bottle tops are juxtaposed with images of lonely shoppers in supermarkets painted on transparent plastic lids, inviting the viewer to question his position in the world, engaging visitors interested in critical discourse about contemporary art issues and first-time gallery-goers alike.\n\nProposed works seek to reflect on human and nature relationship issues regarding nature as a focus for the formation of individual and community's identity. Growing alienation from nature, habitation in cities and dominating consumer lifestyle results in more time spent in constructed, artificial spaces monitored by surveillance cameras like shopping malls and waiting halls defined as non-places, which being real measure of our time have no identity, relations and history. The scene of nature paid close look at as opposite can open itself to reveal a secret life, a narrativity and history outside the given field of perception.","space":"Regular white cube style exhibition space of \u2248 5 x 8 m\nThe number of caps and lids - variable & sizes of displays - adjustable\n1.&2.
