"Practicing wonder at nature..."
Ida Harm
Original paintings, photographs, installations & land art inspired by natural and living processes.
Ida Harm is an Italian contemporary artist working across painting, ecological art, land art, installation and photography. Her practice explores living processes and the relationships between human and non-human worlds, drawing on observation, scientific research and direct encounters with natural materials and places.
PRACTICING WONDER
For me, practicing wonder means carefully observing reality and recognizing the value of the relationships between humans and the environment.
My work begins with observing natural processes and listening to places, which I consider an integral part of the work. I don't seek to represent nature, but to work with it, embracing its time, transformations and materials.
Through painting, photography, land art and ecological installations, I create situations for encounter and reflection, inviting a different perception of space and of our relationship with the living world.
Practicing wonder means recognizing the natural world not as a backdrop to human experience, but as an interlocutor.
PRATICARE LA MERAVIGLIA
Per me, praticare la meraviglia significa osservare con attenzione la realtà e riconoscere il valore delle relazioni tra gli esseri umani e l’ambiente.
Il mio lavoro nasce dall’osservazione dei processi naturali e dall’ascolto dei luoghi, che considero parte integrante dell’opera. Non cerco di rappresentare la natura, ma di lavorare con essa, accogliendone i tempi, le trasformazioni e i materiali.
Attraverso la pittura, la fotografia, la land art e le installazioni ecologiche, creo situazioni di incontro e di riflessione, invitando a una percezione diversa dello spazio e della nostra relazione con il mondo vivente.
Praticare la meraviglia significa riconoscere il mondo naturale non come semplice sfondo dell’esperienza umana, ma come interlocutore.
