Markus Jeschaunig, Earth Love (2020)

In the era of the Anthropocene, the philosopher Bruno Latour tries to reverse the thrust: the terrestrial is supposed to become the subject of human thought and action in the age of man-made climate crises, because “the physical framework that moderns had considered secure, the ground to whom their story had always played out has faltered ”(Facing Gaia). Markus Jeschaunig translates this approach into an artistic-performative act in which, as an Earthling, he creates a tender momentum that breaks the boundaries of time and space: an outcry in love with a lot of emotion that wants to shake up thinking and acting.
