In contrast to the aspirations of landscape painting and still life to immortalize nature, Second Nature represents it as ephemeral and uncertain, in phase with the digital era. This image of nature, at once foreign and recognizable, here affirms its artificial, synthetic character, crossing the border between real and fantastic. In its initial version, the work comes to life through an augmented reality mobile app that allows the public to manipulate and modify it in turn.
This work was created to be part of the collective installation "The Architectural Beast" (2019) curated by Hernan Diaz Alonso.
