In the context of a museographic exhibition that recalls the taxonomic order of the 19th century scientific museum and in which the presence of fossils and litho-mineralogical samples testifies to what remains undegraded in the cycle of transformation of materials, also including extinction of some species… where has life gone?
To answer this question, the laboratory activities proposed in the public programs will analyse the philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway’s notion of composting and compost, the product of a biological process of humification and oxidation of organic materials by micro and macro-organisms evocative of the concepts of soil, waste, and fertility. In rediscovering material’s capacity for internal transformation, the experience of these collections evolves into a fertile, lifegiving terrain in which the infinite potential offered by continuous reciprocal transformation and alliances between all forms of life and the genesis of hybrid, transversal forms of awareness may be envisioned.
