My work examines core contemporary themes, such as changing relationships to nature; through the lens of what eco-philosopher Timothy Morton calls “ecology without nature”; a multi layered nature of imaginaries; informed by an attention to non-human presences and agency; and the finiteness of being.
I question the continued viability of the world as a space for human beings. How we choose to inhabit it, how we create relationships with it and other beings. And how we understand our role and the impact of our presence. These are all questions whose answers are decisive for our future, which is becoming more uncertain with the recent pandemic, war, and biosphere collapse.
To apprehend the present and what is to come I look at how we have been writing, deploring and transforming our own humanity over the past centuries; how we have tried to shape our environment while at the same time change ourselves.
I try to shift the gaze to the mechanisms, alliances and strategies deployed to inscribe our presence in the world, dwelling on the traces of our dreams, on a history of metamorphosis of our sensibilities, in a quest for alternative ways of being, thinking, and acting,
My investigation method implements “extended vision” such as microscopes, binoculars, magnifying glass, glassblown Bull’s Eye (the discarded piece in traditional window glassblowing technique) – as Glass holds one of the most important avenues to truth about the natural world and as such is part of the human evolution –and “translations” using Greenroom(s), both man-made and lifeform-made such as by mosses on walls.
