The Anthropic Landscape – Life Beyond the Surface
The Anthropic Principle suggests that the universe is shaped by the presence of those who observe it. In this laboratory performance, grief itself becomes a landscape—one that exists only because we move through it.
Exploring the corporeal, earthbound aspects of human existence, this work asks how we are shaped by the world and the traces we leave behind. Rooted in a personal journey of death, breathing, and becoming, The Anthropic Landscape navigates the threshold between life and what comes after, absence and presence, and how memory reshapes what we call home.
