Salute Artificiale, 2021
Installation: projected video, ficus plant.
Our body is a natural system, just like a plant.
How many things do we consume (internally and externally) that belong far away from our true natural needs? Nourishment can also mean intoxication.
The artists reflect on this slow and subtle consumption process of artificial goods. The result is the conscious or unconscious distancing from organic, and therefore more similar to the body, intakes.
The artificial and the chemical meet nature in a domestic space: our habits highlight this contrast.
