Composting

For some years now, I’ve been working with composting as a learning model, method, and inspiration to find ways to build new senses of belonging, to renew soils (or belongings) mismatching my conditions or the paths I wish to follow.

Here some documentation of my material research.

On one hand, this trajectory was triggered by my need to cope with the various dimensions of displacement that I carry with me: the legacy of exile and my own immigration. On the other, the urgency I feel towards re-articulating the grounding of my reality as the production of a multispecies eco-sociality.

How can I let go of belongings diverging from my conditions? How can I articulate my sense of belonging beyond exclusively human relations? How can I build belonging where I am?

These questions, dealing with the convolutions of belonging drive my research gathering tools, knowledges and inspiration through a practice guided by composting. Composting as artistic practice works and thinks through forms of relation. It takes place in form of eco-social collaborations investigating relationship to land and multispecies encounter.

Here a few samples of work with composting
