5. TAMED NATURE Immaculate Forest , Shopping , Your Private Garden, 2002. This project investigates the way we relate to nature in urban environments. Tamed Nature is a group of constructions that play with the idea of Nature as a consumable item. These constructions of ‘artificial nature’ combine the city dweller's desire to be close to the wilderness and his need for physical comfort.
