Panorama is born with a very specific mission: to help create and reinforce a global consciousness regarding the different challenges we as a society face in terms of landscape and territory.

For that reason, we’ve decided to create this platform to join together artistic projects with didactic content to attempt to reach, in the easiest and most comprehensive way, this reflexion to a large part of the society.

We believe that artistic projects accompanied by specialized texts are the best tool for any person, even those who haven’t  shown interest in this subjects before, to understand how as a society we need to reflect on our relationship with landscape and territory.

With this idea Panorama aims to become a big archive where anyone can meet and consult the different authors regarding this matters. And what’s also important, to contemplate them from different points of view.

Panorama nace con una misión muy concreta: ayudar a crear/reforzar una conciencia global sobre los distintos retos que tenemos como sociedad en relación al territorio y al paisaje.

Para ello, hemos decidido crear esta plataforma que aglutina proyectos artísticos con contenidos didácticos para intentar hacer llegar, de la manera más fácil y entendedora posible, esta reflexión a un amplio conjunto de la sociedad.

Creemos que los proyectos artísticos acompañados de textos especializados son la mejor herramienta para que cualquier persona, aunque nunca antes se haya interesado por estos temas, pueda comprender que como sociedad tenemos que hacer una reflexión sobre nuestra relación con el territorio y el paisaje.

Panorama pretende con esta idea convertirse en un gran archivo donde cualquiera pueda conocer y consultar los distintos autores que trabajan en torno a estas cuestiones. Y lo que también es muy importante, contemplarlas desde distintos puntos de vista.

Panorama neix amb un objectiu molt concret: ajudar a crear/reforçar una consciència global sobre els diferents reptes que tenim com a societat en relació al territori i al paisatge.

Per això, hem decidit aquesta plataforma que aglutina projectes artístics amb continguts didàctics per intentar fer arribar, de la manera més fàcil y comprensible possible, aquesta reflexió a un ampli conjunt de la societat.

Creiem que els projectes artístics acompanyats de textos especialitzats son la millor eina per a que qualsevol persona, tot i que no s’hagi interessat mai abans per aquests temes, pugui comprendre que com a societat hem de fer una reflexió sobre la nostre relació amb el territori i el paisatge.

Panorama pretén amb aquesta idea convertir-se en un gran arxiu on qualsevol pugui conèixer i consultar els diversos autors que treballen a l’entorn d’aquestes qüestions. I el que també és molt important, contemplar-les des de diferents punts de vista.

The Earth is currently facing one of its most challenging existential threats — climate change. Every year global temperatures rise and the frequency and severity of natural disasters increase. The Earth is in a moment of transition—from the relatively stable environment of the Holocene towards a new geologic period, one that is driven by human action, known as the Anthropocene.

For the past few years, I have been photographing the landscape of the Northeastern United States looking for symbols of change. I have explored areas impacted by natural disasters, land displaced by development projects, and spaces where the influence of the human hand is undeniable. Overwhelming and intrusive artificial light, mounds of earthen material destined to disappear or be redistributed, flora and fauna controlled and cultivated by humans are featured prominently within this work. These photographs are meditations on an uncertain future and portend the coming changes. And in that sense, they are omens.

Born and raised in the northeast United States, Nathan uses photography as a way to explore how we relate to the natural world during our time of environmental uncertainty. His use of bold colors and strong contrast to point towards symbols of change that exist within natural spaces, underscoring the oppressive sense of precarity of the future. Natural and human-made elements are featured prominently within his images. He often highlights marks and disruptions that are indicators of use, exploitation, and commercialization, but does not include humans themselves in his images. He uses places, structures, and artificial light sources to allude to a world that is inundated by human influence. Nathan captures the world as a force outside of ourselves with a dueling sense of hope and despair.

Heavily influenced by science fiction and a love for the outdoors, he often finds himself questioning the future: What impacts human influence will have on the natural world, and what is the future of Earth within the Anthropocene?
