Abstract:
This paper describes entanglements between human and non-human actants from the perspective of creativity, interdependence and contemporary anthropology. Drawing from experiments on self representation and swaps from object to subject of study, the author reflects on the potential of the vegetal world and distinct forms of intelligence to propose a subversive anti – anthropocentric view in a planet terraformed by plants and other beings.
