Fire dam. Depot landscape. Flood barriers. Visual artist and architect Christina Capetillo is fascinated by the man-made landscape that characterizes our contemporary world. Experience her pragmatic yet poetic black and white landscape photographs in the exhibition ‘True Nature’
Close your eyes and imagine a landscape. There is probably quite a clash between the ideal landscape that would come to mind and the ‘real’ nature encountered in Christina Capetillo’s photos. They challenge our notions of untouched nature, which soon may no longer exist. In Denmark, for example, there is only 2.5% wild nature left – and the human impact on nature is becoming increasingly evident.

From Japan to Lolland
The exhibition features 25 of Christina Capetillo’s photos from all over Denmark, as well as from Japan, Spain, and Germany. These are images of man-made landscapes, such as a forest plantation where new trees are planted in a completely barren place in Japan, or a ranger terrain in Lolland, where individual small pine trees stand like lonely creatures. It is a landscape devoid of humans that we encounter in the exhibition’s photos – yet at the same time, humanity is very much present, as the hand that has shaped it.
