As Man Eats Through His Forest”

A group exhibition, tackles the role of man as the protagonist in the relationships between man and nature. Since the dawn of human existence, we have acquired from nature the resources for physical survival and spiritual inspiration. Franco Angeloni, Ruangsak Anuwatwimon, and Moritz Ebinger investigate the values man produced and subscribed onto nature and its systems. Reflecting on the “hunter and gatherer” instincts, the artists assemble insightful studies on humanity's culmination of beasts, botanics, and gold.

Franco Angeloni (Dutch/Italian) goes to the mangrove forests. Their intricate and complicated ecology dominate tropical coastlines, providing protection to land shores and marine species. The works offer rhetorical observations on how man harvests from this tree community. Consumerism plays a significant part in the sustainability of this delicate ecology.



Ruangsak Anuwatwimon (Thai) presents his arduous conceptual, material, and process research of human's construction of socio-economic structures to keep the natural world as our facility. This longterm project casts the cremated remains of human-induced deaths into jigsaw components that will eventually connect together to form the 'perfect human'. The commitment of man's self-centered consumption of animals, plants, and other lives, is not only fueled by our survival instinct, but ultimately for the achievement of the utopian self. 



Moritz Ebinger (Dutch/Swiss) has drawn himself into the research of the significance of gold in Thai culture. The golden metal is a natural element that has caused human all over the world to wage epic wars onto each other. Civilizations are built and destroyed, lives are insured and enslaved owing to this 'precious' gold. The material represents divinity, binds loves and even heals ailments.  Moritz's work studies the long-established status of gold in Thailand's as demonstrated in the profuse use of the metal and colour on Buddhist and cultural artifacts.
