Anxious Ocean & the Moon Bathers
Eco-womanism and dreams of the biodiversity born in the post-anthropocene era.
In 2018 Un Sedicesimo commissioned Hyphen-Labs to create a zine, #54 as part of their print based collaborations.
L'Oceano Nervoso & i Bagnanti della Luna explores the themes of eco-womanism and dreams of the biodiversity born in the post-anthropocene era. Over a short period of time, punctuated evolution has saturated the oceans with human leftovers and their genetic footprints. These plastic-carrying DNA permeated into microorganisms transferring their human-like traits to the inhabitants of the sea. The marine life now lives in an anxious ocean infused with human consciousness. L'Oceano Nervoso & i Bagnanti della Luna depicts one day in this non-human world.
For Earth day, Somerset House commissioned an installation in their lower Gallery, we took this opportunity to explore further how our collective consciousness will be adopted by ocean life in a post-human future. We invited participants to play in our story, asking questions and inviting them to contribute by creating their own hybrid creatures.
Pentagram then commissioned a bespoke poster for a group show, that explored the celebrated the earth and explored themes of the climate crisis.
