There’s something unsettling about the way we encounter nature in the modern age, through Perspex, signage and carefully curated simulations.
In The Anthropocene Illusion, Zed Nelson’s new photography book, releasing on May 15 through Guest Editions, this unease is rendered with visual precision and philosophical weight. Over six years and four continents, Nelson traces our descent into an era where the experience of the natural world is no longer lived, but staged.
