ROSEGALLERY is pleased to present de terra, a group exhibition curated by Jaushua Rombaoa. de terra showcases instances of humanity’s mark on the natural world through the photographs of Penelope Umbrico, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Jo Ann Callis, Kennedi Carter, Manfred Müller, Asako Narahashi, William Eggleston, Robbert Flick, Todd Hido, Graciela Iturbide, Rinko Kawauchi, and Martin Parr.
From both urban to natural spaces, one cannot deny humankind’s presence in our surroundings. A clear distinction between artificial and virgin landscapes is quite evident. For example, land is leveled in order to build sprawling metropolitan areas yet there are untouched landscapes designated as protected wilderness zones. However, over time, the symbiotic relationship between humanity and Earth has begun to coalesce into a singular state of being. The exhibition displays the many instances of this interaction, and ultimately the synthesis of our relationship with the Earth.
