Refuge for Resurgence, Window View

Animation

Description

Having survived Earth’s abrupt shift to an era of precarious climate, a multi-species community gathers in the blasted ruins of modernity to find new ways of living together. The “Window View” from Superflux’s “Refuge for Resurgence” is part of a larger installation that addresses themes of ecological interdependence and a more-than-human future. The “Window View” from “Refuge for Resurgence” offers a glimpse into a layered rewilded city: various notions of normality are now underwater. It depicts how human and nonhuman life come together to revive their surroundings. It imagines a new home, a home built on humility, resourcefulness, and imagination. A home strong enough to weather the storm, to rise from the flood, to endure the heat. This might be a hotter, wetter, more organic city cohabited by all species. Hope is the linchpin of resurgence. “Refuge for Resurgence” is about working together to carve a new world out of the smoldering remains of the old, to forge enduring forms of sharing and survival. The “Refuge for Resurgence, Window View” offers a view to a world where all species can reclaim their place.
