Through collage and digital montage of our photographs, and text interventions “The Landscape is Dead” reflects the intersection of the landscape and the built environment for contemplation, to illuminate the complex and troubling questions about human impacts on the natural world. Through interventions in our interpretations of the landscape our work explores the balance between hope and despair/art and climate change with the goal to invoke consideration for the post-modern landscape.

About CAFKA
“CAFKA.25 draws inspiration from the intricate ecosystems of the forest understory, where life flourishes in the fleeting glow of dappled light and where intricate microhabitats thrive in the shadow of giants. CAFKA.25 considers the possibilities of an urban understory where, below the tall buildings and executive suites, we see a rich tapestry of entwined narratives and a deep desire for balance and community.
Through the works in the biennial, we are searching for the quiet places where life is nurtured and supported atop stable ground, and our understory serves as a place of shelter and intimate discovery where each artwork presents a bridge between the seen and unseen in everyday life.
CAFKA invites you to become part of the understory, to travel beneath the towering canopy, and become one with the oft-stepped on and easily overlooked.”
