Abstract

In this study, the status of normality in human mind about othering and plundering the nature will be discussed over the contrariety between nature and culture. In this context, the artists who have a socio-political perspective on current environmental problems will be examined. These artists are acting towards raising the awareness of the society and drawing attention to the problems in nature-human relationship by using their own artistic language instead of just performing physical works on the nature. In addition, the artists who are naming their work as nature reclamation projects, for the effort of rebuilding damaged environmental balance by means of their works in certain regions of the earth, will be unfolded.
