Membrane: Myths & Fictions of Soil

6 JUN - 30 AUG
15:00
NORDIC HOUSE

Membrane explores soil regeneration as a fundamental process that makes Earth habitable, enabling life to emerge, persist, and renew itself.

Scientific and posthumanist perspectives increasingly describe soil as a self-organising living system: a dynamic, symbiotic process rather than an inert resource.

Soil embodies both life-generating growth and the vital cycles of decay and decomposition. Because of its opacity and non-human temporalities, soil invites speculations, myths, and narratives alongside scientific knowledge.

Bringing together contemporary artistic practices, Membrane reveals soil as a multispecies archive and living memory, staging renewed earthly relations beyond anthropocentrism.
