The relationship between art and nature has been encountered since the early periods of art. Nature has been a subject that artists could not give up for a certain period of time, and they tried to express nature within mimetic practices. After nature, it has taken its place in the history of art as a form of expression that enhances our spiritual side, as a series of processes that show only instant impressions, or as various narratives that are divided and reduced to the abstract. Nature being the subject and image of art has undergone changes in the post-modern period, which is the post-modern period, and turned towards works with ecological narratives. Nature itself has become an art material, and the way has been opened for actionable art practices that aim to prevent the destruction of nature and give back what has been lost from nature. As a continuation of these practices, ecological art practices that establish a dialogue with the audience and become relational aim to establish a bond between nature and humans. The aim of this study is to show art practices that examine and discuss nature ecologically from the 1960s to the present day, and to try to find the destinations of such works.
