Found Object #1

"For all animals, ourselves included, a condition of life is an active engagement with the world. And in that engagement, the world is no longer 'nature' but an environment. A human environment is constituted in relation to the people whose environment it is, on and through their activities; it is -in that sense- essentially historical.

Only when people cease to participate, adopting a stance of contemplative detachment, does the environment revert to 'nature', a physical world of objects confronting the isolated human subject. 

Although humans are capable of adopting such a stance from time to time, no-one can permanently live like that." Tim Ingold, 1993
