are we ever welcome

The illusion of human supremacy supports the belief that we can control all other species and manage ecological processes. However, often our attempts to control or to mend processes which have gone wrong lead to new, unforeseen problems.

This video work is the first part in a series which looks at human intervention and interaction with various plant and animal species which are considered to be endangered or causing a threat in a specific ecosystem.

The video was first shown as part of the Meadow exhibition in Fiskars 2020
