[spectre] "Trust Me I'm An Artis: The Conundrum of Plant Life by Spela Petric

Dear Spectrites

A New Year and a New Article in the Trust Me, I'm an Artist 
Series.

This is the article by Spela Petric : "Trust Me I'm An 
Artis: The Conundrum of Plant Life.
"Skotopoiesis" is the first event from the series 
"Confronting Vegetal Otherness" within which artist Spela 
Petric explores novel plant-human relationships beyond the 
limits of empathy, interfaces and language. This 19-hour 
performance was an attempt at intercognition with 
germinating cress, using her body's shadow as a sign of 
human presence. This work challenges the ethics of including 
plant life in artworks as well as to assess our attitude 
towards plants in general.
