Somos Húmus

Abstract

Somos humus is a research into visual poetics that brings together my artistic production, done throughout the course, as well as the reflections and references that were important along the way. This text — a memorial in which I organize this production and my creative process — relates the project Atravessar musgo (2023) to previous works (2019-2023), in which I experiment with multiple artistic languages, seeking to reflect on the issues of nature in the era of the Anthropocene. Thinking about the recovery of the coexistence of the human body with Other living organisms is an artistic investigation that starts from the urgency of plant voices, in a state of exhaustion due to violent practices against the existence of forests. These practices built a relationship of distance between human animals and other beings. Through the relationships of bodies with earth organisms, I try to think of multi-species approaches, building visual dialogues and propositions to go against the grain of capitalist devastation and think about the collective construction of the reconnection between all living beings.
