With the help of scientist György Kroel-Dulay and visual artist Kitti Gosztola, we explore the concepts of climate change and adaptation. What are we talking about when we talk about the environment? What do we actually perceive when we look at the landscape? Do we have useful concepts to describe the characteristics of a changing landscape?

The concept of landscape is also associated with many myths and misconceptions. We are not conscious of the fact that the landscape we think we must preserve in its current form is already the result of human intervention. The myth of “untouched nature” is just that: neither the elements of the landscape nor the vegetation are independent of human intentions and actions.

Independently of each other, György Kroel-Dulay and Kitti Gosztolathey are also self-critical, as they examine whether science and art are capable of offering solutions and alternatives to the current situation.
