Terra Culture is an exploration of terra-biomes — symbiotic bodies of flora and microfauna, intimately connected by underground fungal networks.
Audiences will encounter an immersive space, where interaction with living sculptures invites sensual encounter with the artist’s terra-biomes to reveal our parallel and synergetic existences. The exhibition will also provoke a visceral self-identification, uncovering the human state as its own multi-species biome.
Over two years, this project has evolved through collaborations with ecologists and computing researchers in conjunction with sculptors and fabricators, ultimately leading Tainsh to create portals connecting us with more-than-human intelligence.
“My new series of terra-biomes will reveal the interspecies relationships integral to all life, including our own bodies. This perspective poses the question: What can these systems of mutuality and diversity teach us about living as cohesive beings, deeply interconnected with the biosphere and the other beings
we share it with?”
