In this chapter from the virtual exhibition “Global Environments: A 360º Visual Journey,” Sarah Elizabeth Yoho’s 360° video captures the process of constructing a dry stone wall in Italy’s Cinque Terre. In cooperation with community organization Tu Quoque Vernazza, it was filmed over nine days and is shown in time-lapse. The camera captures the grapevine’s point of view of Cinque Terre life.

Jonathan Carruthers Jones’s 360º video takes you on a journey with multiple hikers to the Arctic Circle, the Abisko National Park in northern Sweden, to understand what wilderness means to people. He concludes that even though it is a much-contested term—with supposedly lots of personal differences in opinions—people share a lot in common in their views of what wilderness is.

This exhibition collects wilderness-equivalent terms and describes them in a few short paragraphs, discussing how they may be similar to or different from the wilderness that native English speakers know and admire. The subtleties of meanings encompassed by the above terms, say, between human presence or absence, or between love and fear for the wild regions, is what we hope to explore. The exhibition is coordinated and edited by environmental historian Marcus Hall.
