TEDMED | Nature, folklore and serendipitous photo collaborations @TEDMED | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 37 minutes ago.
Our connection to nature - and to the world around us - is difficult to measure. Yet, it is being documented in marvelous ways by Nordic Nature Artists Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen. Long time collaborators, Karoline and Riitta use their art to capture narratives around how humans participate in and communicate with their surroundings. Traveling the globe, they meet local collaborators and collectively create immersive art that captures modern human relationships to nature. Whether built with pine needles, carnivorous plants, or otherwise, these immersive portraits capture the balance between human life and the climate that surrounds us.
There is a beautiful harmony that exists between humans and nature. See how it's captured by watching Riitta and Karoline in their 2020 TEDMED Talk "Nature, folklore and serendipitous photo collaborations".
