Expertise

Employing photography, video and sculptural forms Stefan Petranek explores the subtleties of how we perceive nature through the lens of contemporary culture, especially in response to technological and scientific advances. Influenced by his formal training as a biologist, he often uses the camera to pare down nature into its elemental forms, using visual repetition and experimental practices to reflect on humanity’s complex relationship with nature.
