Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A Tree, is about vegetal agency, plant knowledge, and the interaction between plants and people, with a specific focus on trees. Like all plants, trees make the world; they literally create soil, shape landscapes, and affect the climate. They produce oxygen. They provide fuel, food, building materials, and shelter, and form ecologies where a myriad of species come together to enter into various symbiotic partnerships. Trees are wonderful to think with, and humans have been doing sothrough meditation, in all kinds of storytelling, and as partners in problem-solvingprobably for as long as they have walked the earth. Trees are also time tellers, rather than following industrial time, clock time, or any time defined by human activity, trees relate to their own experience of time.Through this reader, the aim is to nurture and encourage dialogues and to share inspiration on exercising arboreal kinship by taking the time to think about trees differently through imagination, art, music, storytelling, poetry, and images. Moreover, the contributions in A Tree, inspire us to move beyond large systems of oppression and towards exorcizing anthropocentrism, capitalism, individualism, heteronormativity, and coloniality, by learning from and with tree time.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. We explore weapons, lots of them, through different forms, relationships, networks and infrastructures. We try to understand how media works and what people we are following. How is the narrative built? What do you stand for? Are we part of a community? We take a closer look at stones, the symbiotic encounters of minerals and life, objects (possession), things (property) and how they (and we) become everyday viruses. We also try to understand the cloud and its complexity.VISIONS BY Issue No. 4 features an evolution from its previous format and structure, just as Issue No. 4 and upcoming and future issues will.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "In the lobby and the dining room, Guiseppa's walls are decorated with fairytale stills depicting digitally generated Disneyland scenery,occupied by the most famous of Walt Disney's characters. Then, in Giuseppa's own room, I found the first trace of Perdita's Dalmatianfamily in the form of incidental black-and-white spots on a framed portrait of St. Teresa. Giuseppa became a surrogate mother to meduring my stay. I was not her daughter, but I was a daughter striving to understand."Of Dogs and Daughters brings a compelling record of female artists and writers, whose voices have been documented and collected through friendships and chance encounters. Combined with found material that proposes dog-human perspectives, this book attempts to redefine the mother-daughter relationship through a surrogate lens, exploring images of closeness, of anxieties conjured up by film franchises and mechanisms of nostalgia aimed at caregivers and children. The contributions by artists Carmen Dusmet Carrasco and Simona Koutna, and writer Susan van Veen are complemented by the introspections of memoirist Giuseppa and interlaced with passages from the novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians (1956) by Dodie Smith. Each voice represents a unique personal account against a backdrop of deficient social support, single parenthood and absent caregivers.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Mountain Speaks to the Sea delves into Tekla Aslanishvilis experimental film trilogy, which investigates regimes of infrastructural governance by examining how ports, railways, and smart city projects act as technologies of citizenship and sovereignty. Images of distant geographies are connected with future orientations, revealing the disruptive impacts of large-scale energy and transportation projects on the ecologies of the South Caucasus.The publication focuses on the potentiality of moving images in the making and unmaking of infrastructures. By zooming in and out on the grand narratives of infrastructural development, it assembles fragmented (hi)stories of people who live and work around sites of transit and extraction, sabotaging their material systems to challenge violent practices of statecraft.Positioned between an artists book and a reader, The Mountain Speaks to the Sea features contributions from writers and scholars in visual culture, political science and critical geography, and experiments with ways of translating film into printed matter. The Mountain Speaks to the Sea is edited by Tekla Aslanishvili and Silvia Franceschini, with contributions by Alexandra Aroshvili, Ifor Duncan, Silvia Franceschini, Evelina Gambino, and Timothy Mitchell.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. With a Bird, A Reader on Avian Kinship, edited by Marjolein van der Loo, invites readers into an expansive, cross-disciplinary conversation about how we live with and think alongside birds. In a time of climate breakdown and ecological grief, this book offers birds not as metaphors or curiosities, but as kin-creatures with their own histories, desires, and forms of knowing.Spanning speculative fiction, ancestral memory, critical ornithology, personal essay, and visual art, its contributions explore the fragile, often overlooked relationships between humans and birds across myth, science, migration, and dream. Through listening and attention, the book explores how birds shape landscapes, signal planetary change, and offer new ways of understanding time, voice, and relation.Contributors draw on decolonial, feminist, and ecological practices to unsettle dominant narratives and invite forms of care, reciprocity, and repair. From the mimicry of the lyrebird to the silence of vanished species, from winter dreaming to co-domestication and spectral presence, each chapter gestures toward multispecies futures grounded in presence and poetic attention. This reader, both a continuation of an exhibition and a gathering of distinct voices, becomes a spell woven from memory, sound, and image that reimagines kinship in flight.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. We design for life, death and posterity, all together - while understanding who and/or what is permissible to kill or let die. We try to understand why water is a false dragon and how it gives and takes life. We are encouraged to do some push-ups. We rearrange things made of more things, we steal them and we question their economic value, trying to make sense of it in the process. We dance Kumbia and listen to the earth with the people who work under and on it. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The mandragora plant is one of the best recorded gynaecological herbal substances. It is also the only plant in the European context historically depicted as a half-human-half-plant-creature. The mandragora was, is and continues to be haunted by stories. Could its many stories hold a key for luring our minds off paths that have been sufficiently trodden down? What if the mandragora holds the potential for new orders and for world- making; for a cosmopoeisis of mandragoras.Three Becomes Two Becomes One Becomes None explores the medicinal and magical mandragora plant, and the many stories that grew around it across history. Artist Leonie Brandner's writing moves from the beginning of recorded storytelling to ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology, tracing the lines the mandragora has left behind in medicinal books, folklore and eventually the impact the plant had in the hunt on so-called witches in the Middle Ages. Gently weaving her own perception and encounters with the plant through her rigorous historical research, Leonie Brandner creates a kaleidoscopical image of human-plant-imaginations across time.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For millennia death has been celebrated in multiple ways and forms, defining funeral practices as the most central of all rites. Mortality does not seem to affect us until we are suddenly touched by it directly. Memento mori, in Latin 'remember you must die', is not a gloomy reminder of our human destiny, but to invigorate life. This book is an offering, as well as a gentle reminder of the ephemerality of life, split between our physical, but also our digital reality.As we live in increasingly datafied societies, in which new technologies constantly reshape relationships, lifestyles and habits, a support system that could aid the re-integration of death into everyday life is absent. How do we experience grief in a digital society? And how do we reconnect with funeral practices in a rationalist, modern reality that is void of ritual? These two questions cannot be answered separately.DEATH-DESIGN-DATA investigates the experience of death and grief in the digital era - one that is saturated with information yet finds itself devoid of rituality - and how art and design could play a role in reconciling humans with death. Ten contemporary artists and designers explore how different creative practices are able to produce new rituals in relation with death and loss and how this affects us as humans. The experiences, memories and invocations shared on these pages invite us to reconsider our mortality, and the vessels that we use to navigate life and death.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Architecturally speaking, the term greenhouse refers to buildings designed to optimally protect, cultivate and propagate plants under conditions that artificially reproduce their environments of origin. Employed successfully over centuries, these transparent microcosms have allowed some nations to improve their scientific knowledge, provide botanical education and develop horticultural innovations. Parallel to the benefits they brought with them, greenhouses have also had and still have harmful consequences on the way we relate to others, both humans and other-than-humans, and the environments we co-inhabit with them. Shifting away from the celebration of greenhouses as technical mastery and exceptional architectural feats, Greenhouse Stories is an invitation to critically look at greenhouses as controversial (agri)cultural production tools. Re-examining them from a social, historical, environmental and creative perspective, the essays and interviews featured in this book highlight stories of vegetal displacement, colonial appropriation and pollution. Yet they also help us to understand that greenhouses can be fertile spaces for women's empowerment and the nurturing of socially-engaged and eco-conscious projects.At a time of great anthropocentric pressure on the planet, we believe that questioning the greenhouse as a symbol and a tool can help us re-establish more humble and meaningful connections with the Earth and its living communities.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What is the value of rest in the age of late capitalism? And who claims ownership over certainty in a reality that seems so precarious, where the non-stop pace of life often demands more than the traditional hours of daylight can offer? We are increasingly pushed into collective insomnia by the grips of the global economy, technological expansion, and information extractivism. Under the premise of tailored living and comfort-economy, clear constructs of work performance are removed and workspaces are hybridized, while at the same time our internal clocks are blurring the boundaries between autonomy and control, rest and productivity, automation and life.Work-life imbalances are familiar to many, and side effects of ambitious, fast-paced lifestyles such as overworked mentality and burnout are already embedded in our late-capitalist condition. Are we now ready to slowly start grieving late capitalism and its invasive yet ephemeral form of imagination, almost as a post-relationship grief that is needed before entering the healing stage of one's life?Nocturnalities: Bargaining Beyond Rest delves into the politics of rest within the European art world and aims to contextualize themes of sleep, exhaustion, anxiety, and precarity within the realms of cultural labour, knowledge production, and cultural institutional operations.This anthology, edited by Andrea Knezovic and Agata Bar, presents different reflections and knowledge exchanges related to public and intimate care strategies through a thoughtfully curated collection of critical essays, artworks, and institutional statements from various cultural perspectives. It situates these explorations within the professional domains of cultural work, examining the current global cultural politics, its legislative implications, and associated discourse. It also looks at how technology can assist, instead of co opting, care urgencies and needs, and how we can use or appropriate care methodologies in capitalism and create little oases of comfort and exchange.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book confronts one of the potentially most defining struggles of the coming decades: the battle for sovereignty in an age when data and computation have risen above the law and impact human agency on unprecedented levels. As algorithmic systems increasingly influence public discourse, automate but also manipulate political decision-making, and shape the conduct of war, the foundations of democracy are being rewritten in code. It brings together leading voices in art, philosophy, and technology, mainly from Central and Eastern Europe, to examine how personal and national self-determination can survive the dual forces of surveillance capitalism and authoritarianism in the age of artificial intelligence.Through essays and insights into practice-based research projects that resulted in artworks, the volume explores digital disobedience, algorithmic affect warfare, speculative counter-territories, and the flaws of representation based on corrupted data. The featured artistic projectsranging from interactive installations through narrative short films to software artdo more than critique power: they attempt to model ethical alternatives to extractive digital empires and technofeudal governance.The publication is the outcome of the project DATAS: The Data and the Sovereign, which entailed artist residencies, a large-scale international group show at the Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague, and a rich discursive programme.
