Agata Marzecova

Agata Marzecova has a long-standing interest in nature—both the geophysical realm and the cultural and historically changing understandings of what is natural. She works as a researcher at the Institute of Ecology at Tallinn University in Estonia, while completing her PhD thesis in paleoecology. In her work, she uses methods from analytical geochemistry to study lake sediments in order to understand the past environmental changes in lakes and their surrounding landscapes. Previously she has studied photography, exploring the intersections between nature, visual images, and arts. For example, influenced by G. Batchen’s book Burning with Desire, her BA thesis explored mutually constitutive histories of the photographic medium and the different ideas of nature. Also, she has recently contributed to a conference paper for Helsinki Photomedia 2014, which dealt with current institutional and curatorial framings of the “environmental crisis.”
