Conversation with Bonny Leibowitz

Please enjoy my conversation with Bonny Leibowitz. Here’s Bonny’s statement about her latest installation which I find very exciting. Her work embodies concepts of Post-naturalism — a perspective that questions the objectification of nature as pristine and separate from humans. The installations are simulacra of environmental stories, histories, and concepts of nature, all of which have been constructed and distorted by humans. Just as nature itself is hybridized and transformed by industry, so are the narratives we create. The installations serve as situations where the distinction between reality and representation breaks down, and the representation becomes a reality unto itself.
