What Do We Run For – relationship between human and nature | vilija vitkute
“WHAT DO WE RUN FOR” IS AN ART PROJECT ABOUT HUMAN AND NATURE RELATIONSHIP, WHICH SPEAKS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE, THE WORTH OF NATURE, OUR RELATIONSHIP TO IT.
The creators of this project are photographer Adam Alexander Johansson and artist Vilija Vitkute. They started the project in United States where they examineted the relationship between human and nature. Using bodypaint and the power of the image in both national parks and urban areas highlights human´s relationship with its surroundings in two different ways.
The project aims to show the beauty of nature and the human body in contrast to what is man made. It creates action, to run back to nature, which helps to build a better relationship with “the wild”, but also to a healthier and happier life. A life where you explore beautiful places on earth. This project also shows the problems of overuse of environment and resources caused by humans. The project asks people to make change and to run for a better, green future.
