Each landscape are haunted by past ways of life, and these “ghosts” are carried by the the winds of Antropocene. These ghosts were the traces of more-than-human histories through which ecologies are made and unmade
Humans were solely the ones who are responsible for the advancements, developments for their existence. On the other hand, there were also the ones who are to blame for its destruction.. As we are currently living in the Anthropocene epoch, artist were invited to present interpretations of some of the causality of human actions which not only affected their domains, but also those people around inhabiting it, to set a reminder that we must confront the issue of human-induced damages.
The project aims to possible illustrate the multiple spatial and temporal layers that both the living and dead possess. may be somewhat metaphysical, mythical and transcendental in a sense, and the influence that these layers have in shaping our landscapes. The ghosts inhabit the same spaces as the living. Its presence can be felt and seen indirectly, haunting humans and nonhumans in order for them to begin to understand the effects they cause on the present and the future.
With modernity, humans are taught the importance of individualism. Instead of working as a collective to move forward, the dependency of an individual to a collective blurred thus resulting to neglect and the connections of elements of one’s existence in relation to others were often ignored and forgotten.
While there is such a long and active history of erasure on the part of humans, especially when it comes to humans inflicting violence on others, ghosts do not let this happen. They serve as reminders of what lives were destroyed in the path towards so-called “progress.”
