From Habitat: Giardino

Prole di Zeno – Broadcasts from Planet Garden

Studio for Immediate Spaces at Habitat, Cà de Monti Sunday 09.04 – Sunday 17.04.2022

"Prole di Zeno is situated in a rural future scenario in the Romagna toscana's landscape, in a garden that will span the world just as the current urban condition reshapes what has been there before. When in an interplay of draughts and floods a comforting and nourishing environment can’t be taken as granted, nature needs to be cared for. Yet the planetary garden in its ubiquitous condition wont be the focus but the context of the artefacts being produced in this workshop referring to peasant Zeno whose practice Superstudio documented as part of their project on „Cultura Materiale Extraurbana“. Artefacts – analog as well as digital, sheets of paper as well as radio waves – will give an idea of a life mediating between the observed and the imaginary, the local and the cosmopolitan, the archaic and hi-tech. The artefacts hint on potential rituals, habits and tools embedded in this new circular, post-fossil, post-orientational, new bucolic lifestyle, yet they wont explain all aspects of that life comprehensively. They will paint an image by an idea of the food being eaten, the music be heard, the discussion be held."
