All Art Is Ecological by Timothy Morton

Essays on Art and Ecology

The book argues that art functions as an ecological practice because artworks disclose and participate in the web of relations that bind humans, objects, and environments, dissolving the false divide between nature and culture. By attending to the material, temporal, and nonhuman agencies that artworks reveal, it reframes aesthetic experience as a mode of ecological thinking—one that grapples with entanglement, scale (including ‘‘hyperobjects’’ like climate change), and the ethical implications of interconnectedness—thereby urging artists and viewers to reconsider responsibility, agency, and perception in a world already altered by human activity.
