This paper is a case study of ecoart since the 1960s. Since the 20th century, environmental issues have become more serious worldwide, and the ecological world view emerged as a new paradigm of replacing the anthropocentric view. This is a holistic worldview based on systems thinking. Ecoart is the artistic implementation of the ecological world view according to the demands of the times. Ecoartists such as Helen Mayer Harrison (1929-2018) and Newton Harrison (1932-) — the Harrisons — Hans Haacke (b. 1936) and Mark Dion(b. 1961) regard environment issues as a serious social problem, and try to do systems critical work related to this problem. They tend to display research data and samples based on field surveys in order to identify the realities of the ecosystem. The Harrisons investigated the environment with the help of experts and tried to identify the ecological system in their exhibitions. Haacke and Dion implemented a pseudo-ecosystem through sample collection, and clarified the close relationship between nature and civilization. Their exhibition space, representative of cultural space, was the ecological system itself. Consequentially, these halls became public spheres that provided a basis for changingthe perception of nature and culture.
