Reality sometimes seems stranger than fiction: humans are destructively terraforming planet earth on a rapid and global scale, and what is often merely described as climate change is under the surface a for more complicated and wide-ranging ecological crisis. Whilst the effects of climage change have become increasingly clear, a growing number of international visual artists have during the past two decades turned towards environmental and speculative practices. Through the lens of speculation, artists have found new strategies of exploring possible futures and creative imaginations that open up new understandings of the world. In this chapter i seek to highlight the relationship between visual art, ecology, and speculative practices through the work of two contemporary artist with connections to the Nordic countries.
