Revenant nature
The loss and resurrection of a counter-world
Georg Toepfer and Frank Fehrenbach
A conversation. Questions and discussion with the audience: Tanya Lieske
It is a seemingly contradictory observation: although nature has been repeatedly declared dead in literature and visual art for centuries, there is hardly anything more alive in literature and visual art than nature. The biologist and philosopher Georg Toepfer, together with the art historian Frank Fehrenbach, uses texts and images to show the effects of this imagination. How does this contradiction come about? What are the contents and structures that bring it about? And what runs through history to what we currently call Nature Writing?
