Ecosystem Assembly

Ecosystem Assembly

In association with the Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin - Nouveau cinéma et art contemporain

The exhibition Ecosystem Assembly is conceived as an assembly between works - film, video, VR -, a place of silent dialogues between them, based on the notion of "critical zone" such as developed by Bruno Latour, this complex zone of the living made of interactions and retroactions, where human and non-human coexist and share an uncertain future.

From a variety of perspectives and issues related to nature, history, resource extraction, geopolitics, social anchorage in a territory, and community, the exhibition opens a prospective space that documents and questions our contemporary time in crisis.
