Nature can be defined as the physical world containing all natural phenomenas and living things, including the forces and mechanisms that collectively controls and run these processes independently of human volition or intervention. Mankind has tried to master and refine these mechanisms from its very beginning.
“NATURE [of man]” presents 16 artists and researchers, from 10 countries, with projects that takes a deeper look into man´s relation to nature, and the consequences and possibilities that lies therein. The invited artists severely contributes to new artistic perspectives in general, and in particular focuses on human innovation and the challenges man faces as part of a universal coherence.

Raqs Media Collective - Delhi5 screen video and sound installation with steel armature
Five Pieces of Evidence reflects on missing persons, urban myths, transitoriness, maps and global networks. The five screens are narratively organized along the lines of a 'whodunit'. Missing persons notices, street maps, demographic statistics and images of pipelines, rail tracks, harbours and city-scapes evoke a multi-layered set of speculations on the way urban spaces stage everyday 'disappearances'.
Shown at: "The Structure of Survival", Venice Biennale 2003 , Venice Biennale, 2003

Insurance % Investment [Three projections, two with sound tracks, wallpaper with photographic prints] Insurance%Investment illustrates the mental arithmetic of investment and insurance, two mechanisms designed to administer, anticipate and forestall risk, speculation and the possibility of failure.
Whirling motorcyclists in a fairground ‘well of death', giant rotating fan blades, oxygen masks, empty rooms with ornate wall paper and a soundtrack that suggests the respiration of strange machines constitute a constellation of uncanny effects that poise the visitor in a space full of riveting ambivalences. The proliferation of cautionary motifs only emphasizes the latency of danger. Everything is anticipated, yet anything is possible.
Presented at Art of the Possible , Lund Konsthall, Lund, January-March 2007

Raqs Media Collective was formed in 1992 by independent media practitioners Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula and Shuddhabrata Sengupta. Based in
Delhi, their work engages with urban spaces and global circuits, persistently welding a sharp, edgily contemporary sense of what it means to lay claim to the world from the streets of Delhi. At the same time, Raqs articulates an intimately lived relationship with myths and histories of diverse provenances.
