Places | Spaces — Abigail Doan

Abigail Doan's interdisciplinary perspective is of great importance for the contemporary world. The questioning of the entire human apparatus [ historical and technical ] as well as the attempt to establish a relationship with the natural world, appear with special urgency on the horizon of our collective future.

Doan’s work can be conceived as a general archive of the Earth, where the artist's body does not fail to intervene subjectively and to originate new possibilities with determined intensity. In this live, poetic, and sensitive archive, the work of physis and the work of the artist complement each other to define plans for the ethical sustainability of the human with the planet.

The work alerts us to the need to create new future ecologies where the relationships between the two do not find hierarchies of domination and control.
