Landscapes of Future Era, Today (HallSpace, Boston, September 2024) is a digital skyscape exhibition that proposes a shift in how we imagine landscape in the context of climate change. Rather than focusing on traditional horizons, the works center on the sky—polluted, unstable, and emotionally charged—as a psychological and environmental space. By reframing the landscape as atmosphere, the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider how deeply our mental image of nature shapes our awareness and responsibility toward it.

​

The exhibition draws a historical parallel between 18th-century France and the present moment. Three centuries ago, the extravagance of Versailles under Louis XVI symbolized extreme misprioritization of wealth and power, contributing to the French Revolution. At the same time in England, J.M.W. Turner was painting luminous, visionary landscapes that embraced the promise of industrialization. Turner celebrated progress, machinery, and transformation at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Today, nearly 300 years later, we live within the long consequences of that industrial optimism—benefiting from technological progress while facing pollution, ecological collapse, and climate instability.
