Imaging the urban nature by Zen Teh

Imaging the urban nature
Zen Teh

In collaboration with The ARISAN Project, PLATFORM3 presents a talk by Singapore-based artist Zen Teh (zenteh.com; @zen.teh). Zen Teh is an environmental artist who is interested in our relationship with nature. Zen Teh’s art practice is shaped by her proficiency in photography and painting, alongside her continual investigation into interdisciplinary studies on nature and human behavior. The work of Zen Teh comments, through observation, upon the state of nature and our relationship with it, including our representations of nature. Zen Teh aims to raise social awareness of the environment we live in. As an artist, situations where man and nature collide are highlighted. Each work presents a circumstance for the joint reaction of man and the environment. This circumstance is site-specific and individuated, respectful of the subtly varied realities between one person and another.
