This dissertation examines the philosophical and cultural issues surrounding a set of ecological artworks since the late 1970s. The four chapters present case studies of works situated around places and events in Rural England (the Suffolk Coast and the West Pennine Moors) and Ukraine (Chernobyl, Pripyat, and the "Zone of Exclusion"), all of which adopt the temporal and spatial distortions characteristic of "ambient art" (often referred to as "slow art"). The major works highlighted across the four chapters include: W.G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn, Brian Eno's On Land, Mark Fisher and Justin Barton's On Vanishing Land, Richard Skelton's Landings, Peter Cusack's Sounds from Dangerous Places, Jacob Kirkegaard's 4 Rooms, and Michael Marder and Anais Tondeur's The Chernobyl Herbarium: Fragments of an Exploded Consciousness. The aims of employing ambience as a mode of ecological thinking in these works is revealed to be a response to cultural pessimism and deep fears about the contemporary climate crisis (dubbed the "spirit of disintegration"). Rather than promoting ideological or moralistic dictums pertaining to destruction and conservation, works foregrounded by this dissertation adopt anxiety and environmental decay as core aspects of their aesthetic program, revealing the strategies of art's response to the ever-transforming world and the human subject's position and agency within it.
