It is based on a speculative, but realistic, geological era: the plants\u2019 era. Considering for instance the effects of photosynthesis on the composition of the atmosphere, if we differentiate an Anthropocene, why not a Plantocene? Moreover, the Anthropocene absolutely depends on the Plantocene, given that it's activities are based on fossil fuels whose ultimate origin are plants. Thus, the Plantocene questions the idea of humans as the superior and dominant species and offers a new lens through which everything looks different.\nIn order to approach the Plantocene, I use a combination of science fiction, speculative fabulation and artistic practices. While the first two allow to consider beyond-human realities, art permits to experience them as possible, which has a great potential of changing subjectivities towards post-anthropocentric perspectives. Thus, in my artistic practice I try to approach the non-human point of view by releasing control and adapting to the otherness. With my installations with plants, I open processes to all kind of beings, collect their stories, and reconfigure my understanding of the surroundings through their point of view. Therefore, the Plantocene artistic research not only offers a beyond-humans\u2019 perspective but also allows to experience it, changing our understanding of the environment and rethinking coexistence.","space":"One or more can be developed:\n1- Plantocene process. I will provide the material and the instructions initiate it in each venue. It starts with seeds that will become plants and eventually they will die. The result is a mutant living artwork which interacts with the space and its inhabitants (ants, flys, humans, etc).\n2- Shelves showing the collection of Plantocene attempts and notes about the project and interspecies interactions.\n3- Video installation of Outfit to become a landscape","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Paula","surname":"Bruna","email":"pbp1278@gmail.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"46353927A","address":"C\/ Gleva 5, SA1 08006","city":"Barcelona","nacionality":"Spanish","country_id":"71","birthdate":"1978-01-11T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1978-01-11T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+34 699862665","web":"www.paulabruna.com"}
