Noc Kultury, Warsaw
Within the space, non-human bodies are squeezed, adapted,and fully occupy the room. Our world is losing life—speciesvanish daily, with humans at the center of the sixth massextinction. Fragments from Donna Haraway’s Staying withthe Trouble are read aloud, accompanied by the voices of thebeings themselves: furs, shells, and other remnants.
Life forms entangle with human infrastructures, fragile andunstable. Visitors move through the space, observing andtracing patterns of loss and care. Presence, attention, andsmall acts of recognition give acknowledgment to theirexistence.
