Works that fathom the interfaces of artistic practice and scientific research. In examining various topics, they show the mutual interrelations between “nature” and humans. Hanging can be read in the sense of letting-oneself-go as a metaphor of trust and collaborations. Mutual aid and care reflect the instinct and relationships among species within extreme natural conditions supporting each other in survival coping mechanisms. Giving space to others is essential. Often unheard and suppressed voices, knowledge, and reflections question hierarchies and systemic societal oppressions. Human and non/human visions and perceptions of other life forms as necessary survival mechanisms for plants and bats. Human traumas are embodied and soothed through repetitive micro-movements and relationships with bacterial cultures. The spinning around in a wheel of fortune and tacking attention to “what is this lost soul that everyone keeps going on about?”
