Transcendence
2022 - 2024

While since the dawn of time humans have always relied on divine fate, science has recently made us realise how much our choices are defining our future world. Faced with the dilemma of losing our immediate comfort or our long-lasting well-being provided by our ecosystems, we could wonder : Which path will we choose? How can we improve our resilience? Should we wait for technology to be our saviour? Or should we instead opt right now for degrowth ? And, more precisely, how can we achieve a form of transcendence with the living world that surrounds us?

Combining personal narratives and landscape metamorphoses observations, Transcendence portray a young generation lost between eco-anxiety and the desire to initiate deep changes. Inspired by eco-feminist theories that encourage us to go beyond preconceived ideas such as the domination of one gender over another or one species over another, this project invites us to slow down to take the time to reflect on which world we want to live in.
