The monochrome mountain range – from the series ‘diamond feedback’

“What’s this terrifying basement? I realise that I am the only flower left, that around me are only grass, insects, and small flames. I wonder, flames under the snow? How clever! Shouldn’t they make the snow melt? I begin to shiver, praying that one of them devours and warms me up all at once. I forget the word for hell and distract myself from what is happening to me by trying to find it. I wake up before finding out if the snow, and the earth, had completely melted”. This is a passage from Felicia Atkinson’s ‘A Forest Petrifies: Diamond Feedback’, published by Shelter Press. Our presence in nature and our environment has been quite obvious. The intervention made by humans can be unrecognisable, barely noticeable. These photographs show this subtle way of us, infiltrating in nature.
