Esoterraria-p (2022)

Installation; 
durational performance - 12 hours.

Uncasting of
1.5 years of plastic packaging waste from 1 domestic bin

into a new world. Open to participation without insisting. Instructions to participate inside or outside of Esoterraria-p:

Plastic wastes
Witness the everyday of human ways
Trusted and hated
In glue
In oceans
In artery bypass graft surgery
In human blood

A cube from a different time-space
Foreign as alien race
Transparent and laboured
Silent and traced

Beyond extrude, inject, mould
lies embodied tales of care, belonging and ecology
Esoteric for whose taste
Bring them on, play and convey

Outside the cube:
Tell esoteric tales, tell wisdom, tell free associations
To friends, to strangers, to the air
Inside the cube:
Plastics knows no human words
Only actions, forms and shapes
Seeks human translators
and essence of care, belonging and ecology

Studio ANDNAND 


Studio ANDNAND is a participatory design and art practice by Stephanie Pau.

ANDNAND research and offers non-extractive alternatives to the status quo of futures thinking and futures imagined in a more-than-human world. Works are related to, but not limited to, health and ecology - because the world is made of systems and entanglements, not silos.

COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION

The concepts we think with matter,
the people we think with matter,
the tools we think with matter.

Non-extractive convening through methods and tools of participatory speculative design, design games and probes. Sometimes, inside an installation.

Facilitate strategic collaboration
    e.g. Futures thinking workshops
Collectively make sense of each others’ worlds and re-imagine differently - online, offline or in hybrid workshops. 

Producing discourse
    e.g. Sensory XD
A conference track and a catwalk show in a health innovation conference.


Example projects and works  



WORLDING WITH NON-HUMANS

Who we think with matters.
Who counts in a more-than-human world?

Centering waste materials and 
                       tomato plants 
in a rhizomic, 
  meandering, 
      more-than-human research and practices. 
Current lines of art-based investigations: attuning with Tomato Plants; hearing plastics out; un-readymades.
 

Installation, printmaking
and durational performance




PETROLEUM-FREE PRINTMAKING

A reflexive research project.
An alternative speculative design project.
An artistic practice.

What does a paradigm shift entail, practically?
