The Incomplete Writings of Mark Dion is a Wunderkabinett in book form. It comprises nearly a hundred richly illustrated texts by and interviews with Dion from the mid-eighties to the present day. It offers an overview of the evolution, diversity and at the same time remarkable consistency of Dion’s work. Mark Dion is a prominent pioneer of environmental and ecological art. As a visual artist, he appropriates scientific methods of fieldwork, collecting, ordering, and exhibiting objects. He reflects on the visual representation of nature, engages in institutional critique, contributes to postcolonial discourse, and bears witness to the devastating impact of humankind on our natural environment.
