The Ecological Footprint

What is the most distinct mark we leave behind when we walk on the beach or in the forest? Have you ever heard of the notions of an ecological footprint, a water footprint, or a carbon footprint? Our workshop is based on the 17th Istanbul Biennial’s themes of sustainability, climate change, ecology, and the human impact on the environment. We talk about our ecological footprint, a measure of our impact on the planet, and what we can do to reduce it. We use the method of paper-folding to make our drawing paper come alive, as we create an easy-to-remember visualization of the notion of ecological footprint in our minds.
