Such Stuff As Worlds Are Made On

Situated on the intersection of neolithic energy sources, this project looks towards cosmologies and ecosystems for inspirations, and answers in order to create narratives of post-anthropocentric existences. Exploring practices marginalised by positivist scientific knowledge, the project reflects on the limits of human knowledge. Looking back through millennia, the project imagines the births and deaths of planets, the creation of the cosmos, and our home the earth. Looking forward, the project speculates on how other worlds are being explored or created. With this exhibition we shift the perspective towards non-privileged humans, nonhumans, biomes and martian life forms in order to reflect on the near-future of space colonisation and to explore imaginings of past landings on earth by beings that have pushed human imagination. This cross-disciplinary project equally engages with astronomy, ecology, science fiction, politics, tarot cards and lucid dreaming to imagine futures that offer realistic and sustainable environments that can sustain life.
