Between the river and memory, between the landscape and human neglect, between roots and oblivion – these are the spaces where nature and humanity meet. The works presented in the exhibition show how human indifference intertwines with nature into a single fabric, and alongside it, care and responsibility emerge, striving not to leave a trace of destruction, but of concern.

Ambientale vol. 3 is not an ordinary exhibition documenting artistic activities, it is a collection of interwoven stories that simultaneously enter into dialogue and dispute over whether humanity destroys or nurtures.

The use of analog techniques and photographic film evokes a time when nature was already beginning to lose its voice, suggesting that the process of degradation has been ongoing for a long time. In contrast, contemporary photographs reveal the consequences of this neglect. The grayness and blurring of the image, light and shadow – these are visual metaphors for reflection on what we are doing to nature, and whether we still have a chance to restore its colors.

Captured elements – roots, birds, water, rust, abandoned objects – become a medium of memory. Concrete blocks combined with sunlight, and seagulls flying away into a red, seemingly burning future, create a landscape between hope and loss. These are traces of what has been destroyed, but not irretrievably. Objects made from reclaimed materials, organic sculptures, and plant hybrids remind us that within fragility lies strength – that we can still care, nurture, and restore.

The exhibition is a reflection on the relationship between humans and nature, with that which endures, though susceptible to forgetting. It is an attempt to see the world anew, at a moment when indifference gives way to care, and destruction transforms into cultivation.
