Looking out of the window by Feifei Zhou

“Look out of the window, what do you see?

The excerpt from John Keats’s poem describes a vivid view from his window: the hedge, the river, the primroses, the daisies on the hill… It illustrates a beautifully curated natural landscape.

“Looking out of the window” is a fantastical depiction of a “beautiful” view - an assemblage of various plant species crowding together, each taken from the drawing series of the digital publication Feral Atlas: The More-than-Human Anthropocene. Each plant species participates in a series of historical events of ecological catastrophe caused by humans but went out of human control. To know more about the uncontrollable ecological effects caused by human infrastructures, please go to feralatlas.org.”
