Earthlings III: Patterns

The third part of the main exhibition Earthlings, which is – unlike the first two – situated in a gallery institution, explores the possibilities of overcoming the cycle of violence and healing; extraction and growth. On the one hand, it considers patterns of environmental and racial injustice, while on the other hand, it looks up towards the autonomous power of patterns whose provenance is not in the register of human experiences and practice, but the mythological and poetic activity of objects on the threshold of the animate and the inanimate. The ability of these objects to constantly oscillate between meanings and perspectives serves as a guide to another of the principles of terrestrialness: to avoid the ’calcification’ of power relationships in the society.
