Fabian Knecht’s Fictional Nature series is a striking exploration of the intersection between art and environmental consciousness. The Berlin-based designer presents a fresh perspective on the relationship nature, man and culture through a series of unorthodox installations. Framing the environment out in the wild, by enclosing spaces in the environment by built structures, Knecht’s creations are more than mere representations of the tension between humans and nature; they are intricate dialogues between the organic and the synthetic. By employing a range of materials that mimic or reimagine natural elements, he prompts viewers to reconsider their relationship with the environment. His sculptures and installations often evoke a sense of wonder and introspection, urging audiences to reflect on the impact of human activity on the natural world.
The Fictional Nature series is not only a visual feat but also a call to action, encouraging a more sustainable interaction with our surroundings. Knecht’s series stands as a poignant reminder of the fragility of our ecosystems and the potential for design to inspire meaningful change.
Fictional Nature can be found in cities across Europe. Find more from the series on Knecht’s website.
