Transnatural
is a series exploring a dystopic future after an environmental catastrophe. Contact with nature is possible only through technological means – audio and visual simulations, development of new species and production of artificial organisms. The natural becomes artificial, while the artificial pretends to be natural – the distinction between the original and the imitation is increasingly unclear.
