Tomorrow’s Nature
Lecture at VCUarts Qatar
2022
Can we truly draw lines between the human world and the natural world? Can one exist without the other?
"When you look closely, the distinction between a person and their surrounding ecology is very diffuse," explains artist and filmmaker Jonah King. It is in the exploration of these blurred boundaries where this multi- media artist finds his artistic inspiration, direction and connection with his audience.
"I am interested in bodies, identity, and landscape [...]. Focusing on this destabilizes cultural beliefs that separate us, delineate identity groups, and construct an artificial separation from nature."
Through his work and collaborations, King invites his audience to join in this exploration "collectively" and in doing so, to deconstruct the inner mechanisms of human nature and to re-assemble a new perspective on the human experience and human consciousness.
