“Bill McKibben wrote, ‘We live in a post-natural world.’ But did, ‘Nature’ in this sense ever exist? Or was it rather the deification of the human that gave it an illusory apartness from ourselves? Now that non-human agencies have dispelled that illusion, we are confronted suddenly with a new task: that of finding other ways in which to imagine the unthinkable beings and events of this era.”

– Amitav Ghosh, The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable

THE GREAT DELUSION

2022-Ongoing 

4k Video, 7 min 8 sec


The Great Delusion is a visual and auditory essay investigating the ongoing legacy of the commodification of nature.  

Using a model of fragmentation, non-linear accumulation, and disorientation, the essay points to the ways knowledge and understanding of climate change is formed. 

Starting from the artist’s positioned upbringing in the American West, the essay explores the impacts of manifest destiny, the frontier myth, belief in human exceptionalism, and several political entanglements. 

The essay ends with the statement and question: “Cartesian maps de-centered a body. Are we* ready to be decentered?”
