The Wilderness Trail
May 2023
May 2023
This project explores the perception of wilderness: places that are often seen as the natural place 'untouched' by humans but in reality, is a very cultural invention.
As viewers walk through this trail, there are different interactions that act as metaphors for how national parks and trails are created and preserved, highlighting the absurd differentiation between what we consider 'natural' and 'synthetic' and questioning the environmentalist vs. commercial intention of such acts.
