Elisabeth Kohnke 2015
Inspired by Jørgen Leth’s “The Perfect Human” I decided to extend and juxtapose his critique into our daily environments.  For as much as we focus on ourselves and how we could improve or become more “perfect”, we also idealize what nature should look like by encouraging specific ecosystems and disposing of others.  Who ultimately benefits?  Are we flexible enough in our ideologies and efficiencies to allow for change and evolution around us?  The Anthropocene has taught us that humans and nature are not as separate as we thought. I intend to explore our struggle in seeking perfection around us through scrutinizing cultural ideals and historical identity.
