Beneath the visible. Immersive worlds shaped by ecology, myth, data and fieldwork.

ABOUT POSTNATURE

Postnature is the creative practice of Valentina Ferrandes, an Italian artist based in London and Barcelona. Working across CGI, animation and real-time environments, her works explore the relationships between ecology, mythology, classical forms and technology, with a focus on Mediterranean landscapes and more-than-human life. Drawing on fieldwork, environmental data, and digital experimentation, she creates speculative worlds that take shape as immersive installations, architectural projections, moving-image and site-responsive artworks.
