How a plant comes to plant
If we are to survive the planetary-scale exhaustion that seems to be the inevitable ends of the logic of the Anthropocene, humans need to find different ways of thinking in order to develop different ways of living. Cecilia Casabona uses participatory performance methodologies to research ways of escaping traditional logics of being human. How a plant come to plant is a film made in collaboration with a plant from Tanzania, given a Latin name by a German botanist, and now a mainstay in Dutch supermarkets. The film is a meditation on how contemporary humans have become illiterate to the agency of the natural world.
