The plants in the greenhouses reminded me of the climate problems we face. We cannot build a greenhouse for the whole world; as temperatures rise, more species are dying. We may not have thought much about climate change this year, but it is still with us. To draw people's attention to the rapid climate changes, I used a technique that involves painting images and inverting colours. In the new year of 2023, we experienced +15-degree temperatures in Central Europe instead of snowy weather. The glaciers are melting, and parts of Europe are at risk of becoming a desert.
Anna Korbut (b. 1989) is a visual artist from Ukraine working with photography and mixed media, currently based in Switzerland. She explores the relationships between humans and nature and deeply engages with Anthropocene issues, starting a dialogue with science at a time of advanced climate change. Anna also delves into the individual's inner world and interpersonal connections. She experiments with digital and analogue techniques, drawing inspiration from mountains' beauty, Augusto Giacometti's and Helen Frankenthaler's vivid colours, Auguste Rodin's sculptures, and Erich Fromm's texts.
