Ecognosis (Work in process)
A stop-motion animation installation
Ecognosis, a riddle. Ecognosis is like knowing, but more like letting be known. It is something like coexisting. It is like becoming accustomed to something strange, yet it is also becoming accustomed to strangeness that doesn’t become less strange through acclimation. Ecognosis is like a knowing that knows itself.
Timothy Morton
The theatrical installation Ecognosis is inspired by Alan Weisman’s book The World Without Us. In this book, Weisman describes how nature takes over everything in different places in the wordt after the disappearance of human life. We depict this idea through the projection of stop-motion animations of microbes, insects and plants on the world as we know it.
