YOU DON'T BRING ME FLOWERS

Viewed at its seams, a collection of «National Geographic» landscapes from the 1960ies and 70ies conjures an obsolete American romanticism currently peddled to propagate entitlement and individualism from sea to shining sea; the slideshow deforms into a bright white distress signal. «You Don't Bring Me Flowers records still pictures from «National Geographic», exploring human interpretation of nature through captured images. Independent, chaotic, and beautiful, nature refuses to sit still with or without human recognition.» (Ginny Rowland)
