Hook, Adam Nicolson Surveying the Anthropocene presents a range of
approaches to image-making concerning the environment by some of
the best artist-photographers working worldwide, alongside texts by
some of the most illuminating writers on environmental questions,
at a pivotal moment in the human relationship with the planet.
Photographic approaches to environmental imagery have altered
fundamentally in recent decades, largely as a result of increasing
socio-ecological awareness. This insightful international survey,
with a strong representation from Scotland, considers the varied
range of current working practices of a representative selection of
artist-photographers, both renowned and emerging, whose
image-making explores human-caused environmental change. It
concentrates particularly on work which relates to the types of
impact, on climate and the web of life, that are sufficiently
significant and globally widespread to appear in the future record
of the rocks as a new geological epoch - the Anthropocene. The
concept of the Anthropocene has engaged the attention and
imagination of a wide range of commentators from very different
backgrounds and walks of life. It therefore provides an excellent
context in which to discuss, in an open and cross-disciplinary way,
the range of responses of artist-photographers and cultural writers
to our present global situation of multiple, interconnected
environmental and social crises - and the options for human
ingenuity in addressing these. Contributing photographers Jack
