Some form of Future Nature
“...Accepting the premise that the artist’s legs, painted with a pattern of blotches and moving in precise, small motions, are the performers of this work, and we’re given a very contemporary kind of non-narrative, a maintenance story of completing tasks, like the popular video games that simulate farming or mowing the grass. This garden is limited to a tiny cube and lit by round purple grow lights, which together give a sci-fi feeling, implying that we may be watching a garden pod on some kind of space station where space is profoundly constrained. Not much is growing, and the feet are intermittently struggling to complete their tasks, but much plastic trash is cleared from the pod, and a checklist of operations does seem to be completed….” ― Forest Akawara-Nas
"Some Form of Future Nature" is a post-anthropocentric performance, translating eco-anxiety into speculative art. Nhuch's lower legs and feet perform in a tiny raised garden lit in purple grow lights. The work zooms in the relationship between her body and soil. It explores the entanglement between humans and nonhumans, speculating about a new form of nature resulting from human activity. Nhuch's limbs stumble on plastic growing in her garden, and emotion ensues through non-narrative choreography and sound. The piece challenges our complex relationship with the environment by offering a nonhuman perspective on nature. Blending peep shows aesthetics and absurdity, "Some Form of Future Nature" provokes critical reflection on our ecological future and the unseen consequences of our human-centered perspective.
