Nature vs. Culture

Engaged in a recent peripatetic Étude, two Trireme Veterans found themselves momentarily trapped in a dire modernist predicament. Here we see them in their heroic but vain struggle to close the conceptual gap between Nature and Culture, as they reflexively contemplate their relationship to the landscape, its uses and re-uses, built environment and the material residue of the past as well as its belles noiseuses inscribed everywhere in their surroundings. They survived this human-nonhuman imbroglio, made a full recovery after a brief course of conceptual therapy and returned safely to a state of Nature Transcendent. (Chiffonage [?] by La Perla)
