At a time when the preciousness of nature – and the need to protect it – is more pronounced than ever, photographer Marco Kesseler’s exhibition comes to our Peckham windows from its previous display in the windows of Selfridges on Oxford St while it has been closed.

In Marco’s images, our relationship with nature is highlighted as he explores the hidden landscape that our food is produced in, looking at cyclical changes and the relationship between chaos and control in the natural environment. The polytunnels where our food is grown become their own cosmos – a place where the seasons are stretched and softened to create the food that nourishes us. Layers of algae form over the weathered plastic, self seeded
wildflowers establish themselves in the cracks of the structures, while networks of animal nests are exposed as crops are changed. The work was produced at different stages throughout the annual cycle of planting, growing, harvesting and lying fallow; following both the passing of seasons as well as the changing relationship, where nature fights to establish itself within a cultivated plot.
