Transcendence

2022 - On going

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? Should we wait for technology to be our saviour? Or should we instead opt for degrowth? Will we be able to transcend our domination system to achieve a form of coexistence with the living world that surrounds us?

Combining personal narratives with landscape metamorphoses observations, Transcendence aims to portray a new generation lost between eco-anxiety and the desire to initiate deep changes. Aiming to go beyond the aestheticisation of environmental disasters, this project aims to observe the emergence of a new visual culture of resilience made up of alternative realities, committed community lifestyles and dubious techno-solutionist innovations.

Through the use of diverse scenographic mediums, Cinzia Romanin immerses us into alternative realities to question the world we want to live in.
