Plásmata III

When and where do we meet? Do we need a common reality, or are we satisfied with solipsism? What brings us together, and what repels us? What is nature, what is real and what is not, when the surreal becomes the dominant visual language and even algorithms hallucinate?

As cutting-edge technologies tend to disappear in physical space, assimilating it and being assimilated by it, the ways in which we understand, experience, and communicate our reality are radically changing. The boundaries between the digital and the material, the human and the non-human, the inside and the outside are abolished.

Plásmata III is a living laboratory, a trans-local machine of desire, dreams, and bodies, human and non-human. Urban public space, ‘nature’ trapped in anthropocentrism, especially as expressed through the fantasy and mythology of the park, is again the porous and yet solid core around which the Creatures in Plásmata III develop. It is a vast magnetic field in which the Creatures meet, attract and repel, desire and despise, fall in love or fall out, pass by or stick around. It is the material and symbolic space in which each visitor creates their own fragmentary and often conflicting realities. It is an embrace that will take you somewhere unknown. Like any embrace worthy of the word.
