About environmental art

Environmental art is a socially and politically charged art form that concentrates on on the relationship between human beings and nature. It turns attention to the vulnerability and overexploitation of natural environment as well as the problems rising from alienation from nature.

​

Environmental art recreates reality by providing alternative solutions to finding meaning in regions and landscapes.

Writer and thinker

Hasso Krull is most interested about myths and trickster stories. In his opinion, the understanding of Estonian mythology starts from the moment when it is understood that Kalevipoeg and Old Pagan are one and the same person.
