Historization of Nature - Narrative of Environmental Art -

Environmental art addresses the natural environment. Yet environmental art deals with the contemporary complex natural environment that can no longer be grasped from the traditional point of view of Western philosophy about nature. The degeneration of environment which is hastening and progressing at an unprecedented speed and scale suggests that nature might, therefore, be understood not as an eternal circle in harmony, but as a mortal existence with history in irreversible time, like human beings. Here, I examined the state of contemporary natural environment expressed in the British environmental art to clarify about the historization of nature and the narrative of the environmental art.
