LAND Magazine - 28.03.2022 According to an analysis published in “Nature” magazine (Dec. 2020), the mass of man-made things exceeds the mass of natural things (biomass). Are we suffocating ourselves? What effect does this have on the relationship between man and nature? Are we now imprinting our under- standing of nature on the landscape? Can nature become an antidote to a digitally alienated world? These questions are presented in a conversation with the historian and essayist Philipp Blom.
