Soils in Residency

What: A transdisciplinary platform facilitating the exchange of knowledge about soil and the sharing of it as a resource. Why: Global soil loss is not only an ecological problem but also a cultural, social and political issue. The project explores transplantation as a way to revive and alter soils, without artificial influence, while challenging societal frameworks such as the ownership of resources. How: By fusing art and science, and using techniques such as an imaging method and transplant tests. Soils of different origins and agricultural treatments are inoculated in a test plot designed as a biogeographical map. Mirrored and monitored through soil chroma images, the results form an analogue and virtual archive of knowledge, displaying multiple potentials.
