Trans*Plant: May the Chlorophyll be with/in you

Quimera Rosa (ES/AR/FR)

March 2016: Start of Trans*Plant project, which engages in human>plant hybridizations. December 2017: First chlorophyll IV injection @ Kapelica Gallery. March 2036: The annual Earth resources are exhausted > global Internet final shutdown. December 2037: A bio-hacker community connects a VPN to Mycorrhiza network. This mixed-media installation aims to present the work behind Trans*Plant, as well as produce a speculative fiction. A piece where leftovers from the past and the future get entangled.
