Into the Void is an immersive video installation that investigates the evolving dynamics of the Anthropocenic landscape. Utilizing multi-channel video projections and an enveloping soundscape, the work presents environments where ecological systems appear to respond to human-induced transformations. The installation foregrounds the agency of non-human forces, positioning the landscape not as a passive backdrop but as an active participant in a shifting ecological order. Through visual sequences depicting environmental instability—such as glacial retreat, wildfires, and habitat degradation—the piece explores the complex entanglements between human activity and planetary processes. By immersing viewers within these destabilized terrains, Into the Void offers a space for critical reflection on the consequences of anthropogenic impact. The installation contributes to ongoing discourse in visual culture and environmental humanities, emphasizing the need to reconsider conventional narratives of human-nature relations in the context of ecological crisis.
