Honoured to be a part of MUTUOGENESIS exhibition by Jerszy Seymour in

How to start again? A living mud pit of new processes, a post-anthropocentric explosion of everyday life? Mutuogenesis is a place where a weird punk underground spirit haunts modernity by the spectre of a mutualism and mutation between our planet and its human and non-human co-inhabitants. Mutuogenesis is an attempt to live differently and be something else, a place where notions of absurdity, horror, humour and comedy become essential tools in the quest for possible dirty utopias.
