NOTE: FINISH CHAPTER XXXIV

The work is a direct reference to the post-humanist vision of the world, in which human achievements of civilization give way to the forces of nature. The inverted car hood, with its symmetrical shapes, refers to architecture, which most visibly fights with the natural landscape in contemporary times. Man claims rights to the earth and to the sky. An outline of land and buildings defined against the sky – skyline (nissan skyline R34). The perfectly symmetrical car hood is a direct reference to human engineering thought. Intellectual achievements. The hood, placed vertically, builds a spatial object, which, like buildings, heads upwards. It is a monument to humanity, from which nature will not turn an object of worship. This frame will allow it to climb towards the sky. Gradually transforming the landscape into a wild land of abundance, with an unprecedented composition of tall growths, tickling the god’s feet. Post-humanism is not a higher form, unrestricted by the body, a better version of man. Post-humanism is the memory of an extinct species, which, unlike dinosaurs, did not need the help of the universe to be annihilated. Human pride, a sense of superiority of the species over all other living things on earth. A sense of superiority of the individual over every other individual of his own species. Self-annihilation. The mask is a memory of man, but also a blank canvas for nature. The red growth is the blood of plants flowing in generic vines. Their fruit is red flowers, a new heart of the world after man.
