In front of our eyes

Joanna Hańderek



Revolutions-realised

Abstract

This article is an attempt to show how art responds to contemporary problems, to what extent it is able to make the viewer aware of the conditions in which we live and the still developing state of climate crisis. In the article I focus on bioart, presenting selected artists who show the degradation of ecosystems in their works and try to show the relationship between man and nature. Invoking the metaphor of Mother Gaia, I follow the analyses of ecoethics to point out human duties and responsibilities for the current state of affairs. In my analyses, I primarily try to show the artistic rift between art itself and activism, and the role of art in today's crisis-torn world.
