Press Release
After the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, many artists began to show increased attention to the connection between human and non-human life. This turn is not purely aesthetic but carries a conceptual and philosophical dimension, reflecting a broader rethinking of the human position within the natural world. The concept of the exhibition The Grass Above Us is based on this observation. The exhibition asks: why do artists and poets so often return to nature during moments of existential rupture? And how can this tendency be understood in light of contemporary ecological thought? Drawing on frameworks such as dark ecology (Timothy Morton), sympoiesis (Donna Haraway), and the notion of the planetary garden (Gilles Clément), The Grass Above Us interprets this aesthetic movement as part of a deeper epistemological shift from anthropocentrism toward a model of interdependence.
