The book POWER PLANTS by artist collective kennedy+swan finally puts an end to the anthropocentric world view. Why should humans feel superior to the evolution of plants and animals?
The duo asks questions without pretending to deliver moral answers. What will the world look like in 1000 years? What will happen when our bodies merge with different species of flora and fauna? And what do insects have to say about the idea of making them humanity’s main protein source?
Since 2013 kennedy+swan have tried to create empathy with fungi, insects, and hybrid beings in their films, virtual reality and augmented reality works, as well as in their drawings and installations, spinning a dense narrative web under their label “L I F E 3. 0”. -Publisher
