This multichannel installation is an attempt to explore the multiplicity of relationship between humans and nature that exist in the community of Tangia Basti.

Forest Movie, from the series To Search the Secret of the Forest

Working with photography, video and text, Lo Casto portrays a community called Tangia Basti located in the depths of a forest in Nepal. Lo Casto reflects on contemporary topics such as the destruction that accompanies capitalism, displacement and deforestation, the perception of indigenous communities by the West and what it means for humans and nature to exist in a world seen through an anthropocentric lens. While looking at Lo Casto's body of work, we see that the beauty of the land and its inhabitants follows a sense of urgency and the need to leave behind a predominantly Western and capitalist perception of the world.
