This text by Shroeder Explains the psychological study of what is felt by the individual when they experiences engagement with nature. This is the main premiss behind my curational concept. Shroeder describes this connection as being felt on a subconscious level as a "spiritual" experience of the "other" and as being vital to the individuals fulfilled sense of self, Shreoder goes on to state that the neglect of such emotional nourishment and connection with nature can lead to neurosis. This last point i feel is debatable but the text left me in no doubt that the need for the individual to experience this phenomenon is grossly underrated in our society, as a result of this i felt that this experience should be re-created and celebrated in my exhibition, Echo-location.
