The exhibition focuses on an interdisciplinary and
international dialog that examines the relationship between humans, the
natural environment and other organisms.
international dialog that examines the relationship between humans, the
natural environment and other organisms.
The exhibition, whose title is
borrowed from a popular internet meme, aims to portray life as an
interweaving of possibilities, unforeseen perspectives and the absence
of complete control.
The concept is inspired by Timothy Morton’s
“Ecology without Nature” and the work of Donna Haraway. It challenges
dualistic views of the world, advocates a more open understanding of
natural boundaries and emphasizes shared responsibility for ecological
change.
In five chapters, the exhibition is dedicated to themes of human and
non-human communication, the human microbiome, interdependence and tells
of ecologies of failure.
Each exhibit contributes to a deeper understanding of ecological interrelationships and challenges conventional views.
The exhibition encourages visitors to establish new ecological
narratives and to (self-)critically reflect on society’s understanding
of the environment and their own role in it.
