“Working on ‘Slightly Altered’ project artistic duo Synchrodogs went into a several-month trip across the Carpathian Mountains to discover how far people managed to intrude into the territories that were meant to be wild. The project is about the interdependence of humans and nature and the new ways the Earth begins to look as a result of our interventions into the environmental processes. Witnessing human intrusions into nature, Synchrodogs have started reflecting upon how much we, like all life, both alter our environment and are altered by it. Creating installations meant to live for a single day and photographing them before they decay, Synchrodogs’ images preserve vistas that are—sadly—likely to be irrevocably altered by the next generation.” - Synchrodogs
