In this project I am exploring 6 different life forms; snail, slime mold, frog, rock, moss, and fungi. I am approaching these life-forms as agent entities for me to channel, and act for them as vessels. “Apocalypse Fatigue” is both an exploration of my own artistic practice, by attempting to create works from a nonhuman-centric perspective and investigating how different entities can be co-creators, and an exploration of its sustainability. It is also an attempt to approach nature as a direct actor to create multiple narratives regarding climate change. Taking the perspective of another organism allows me to imagine alternative ways of being in the world, and through them, I can explore my own emotions, artistic visions or reflect on social issues with a fresh perspective. In a wider way, my work tries to challenge, modestly, dominant world views and presents an alternative to the apocalyptic narratives so often mobilized when speaking about climate change.
