I looked into art movements that also explore the connection with nature to understand how they could be translated into the current situation, and what could be implied in the future of fashion.
Earth art or Land art began to develop as an art form in the late 1960s in America. Aiming to heighten public awareness of Man’s relationship with the natural world. Landart places nature at the forefront, reminding us all that the intricacies and subtle forms of communication in the natural world are far superior to anything humans have created or ever could create.
Fashion should now, more than ever, aim to spread awareness about the importance of the consideration of the natural world and resources in its practice.
One of the most iconic artists from the movement was Ana Mendieta. She uses a performative approach and rooted in a spiritual and physical connection with the Earth.
