“States of Earth” presents proposals for the water, waves, and plants to coexist through the works that highlight the damage that societies, capital, and power cause and the subjectivity of nature in a world that is shaped by capitalist crumbles. Moving away from the post-capitalist perspective’s human-centric approach, it takes on a mushroom, a flower, and a wave of water from a place of equality.
We are all connected.
We are connected with invisible roots, with mycelia like a mushroom or a tree, with the patches that we hide from each other, with things that we protect, with a smoke cloud, or with what comes from the sea.
