The Silence of Nature / Silenced Nature

2024

by Beba Stoppani

The Silence of Nature
A wave on the shore, a cry in the air… there’s poetry, a melody that only gets a voice in silence.In silence, Nature speaks with its song.
A secret murmuring that starts a dialogue for us, an inner language.

Silenced Nature
Nature silenced by screeching, a deafening voice… even the animals draw back from this cacophony that dulls the mind, deafens the conscience and smothers our inner dialogue.

In 2014 I started a journey of denunciation and aesthetic dialogue with Nature and its continuous changes linked to the problems of exploitation and climate change. Thus, various projects were born … ‘TerraMadre, 0° degrees at 5,000 metres, Dream of a Night, The Lost Planet I and II, Enchanted Passages, Primordial Land.’
‘The Silence of Nature/Silenced Nature’ is the last step in this journey that now ventures into silence and suspension… where the gaze is asked to give a voice to Nature now perceived as a victim, but still manages to maintain its beauty and identity, despite being wounded.
