Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene

Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene Edited by Jessica May and Marshall N. Price, Contributions by Donna Haraway and Candice Hopkins and Rocio Aranda-Alvarado The pressing issue of our time through the lens of important artists working today: the toll of human activity on the climate—known as the Anthropocene—is considered in-depth in this historic convening of photographers and thought-leaders from the worlds of art, Indigenous studies, philosophy, and ecology.Accompanying a major traveling exhibition, Second Nature is an ambitious and expansive approach to the ever-present climate crisis. Gathering the work of nearly fifty photographers and their unique aesthetic and conceptual perspectives on this urgent issue, May and Price have invited leading figures in a range of fields offering an interdisciplinary and, importantly, intersectional consideration of the Anthropocene.
