With Give Nature a Break, the Nordico is dedicating a comprehensive solo exhibition to the visual artist, filmmaker and environmental activist Edgar Honetschläger. Since the 1980s, the Linz-born artist has been exploring the human/nature dichotomy through multimedia. Subtly critical and at the same time poetic and humorous, he uses surprising perspectives to question familiar points of view. In response to the catastrophic effects of the Anthropocene, he founded the non-profit organisation GoBugsGo – Set Nature Free in 2018, a transdisciplinary initiative that combines art with environmental activism. The international project sets collective renaturalisation measures in motion to give insects back their habitat. As a utopian artistic vision, zones are created from which humans are excluded. In addition to a hundred works, including large-format film backdrops, a ‘non-human zone’ – ‘a living sculpture of the 21st century’ – is also a central part of the exhibition in Linz.
