There is hope in being able to imagine. This project is an experiment to imagine the mingling of a human body with its inhabited environment to consider, what rights does nature have? In many European countries, governance of human relationships with land is defined by a binary division of land as a transactional space for human use. Yet, the experience of moving slowly through and inhabiting space reveals the swirl of more-than-human life that is all around us. Can we follow the threads of our complex human relationship with our environment and imagine how better to protect life on earth?
