Interspecies Architecture





Two-channel video installation with sound, 13 min, loop


Synopsis

A journey to Taipei with an uncertain destination. A nomadic speculation on species and dimensions beyond the human. All forms fluctuate, their variables are not fixed, meaning also changes, like time, history and place. The film unfolds as a process of constant relocation. 
Nomadism, an unstable and unpredictable order romanticised, cannibalised and mythologised, is defined by movement and migration, not only in space but also in thought, and serves as a dimension through which the film establishes a variety of connections, documenting displacement, reconstructing a trajectory that alternates between documentary and science fiction, constructing a scenario where signs accumulate, juxtaposing possibilities, such as the effects of climate change, environmental disaster, armed conflict, political repression, endless collapse or unknown organisms on the edge of life.
