Adam Vackar’s work is conceptually driven and operates on intersection of visual art, biology, anthropology and ecological thought. He investigates interactions between the human and non-human worlds, placing special emphasis on non-native plant species—most notably the Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum). Vackar’s artistic inquiry into the Hogweed delves deeply into its biological, socio-political, and spiritual entanglements, examining the complex web of relationships and perceptions surrounding invasive and native categorizations.

His practice critically engages with the processes of knowledge production, questioning power structures and traditional frameworks of ecological and cultural understanding. Through installations, films, photographs, and writing, Vackar explores themes of ecological entanglements, resilience and human alienation from nature. His approach combines personal narratives and autotheory.

By intersecting human perspectives with non-human agency, Vackar’s work both challenges anthropocentric viewpoints and opens new dialogues around coexistence, adaptation, and ecological futures. He is currently working on his dissertation at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Brno University of Technology. His forthcoming book about the Giant Hogweed is set to be published by a Dutch publisher later this year.
