PENDING XENOPHORA

2020 - 2022

DSCF8386.jpg

Pending Xenophora is a multi-layered world
designed together with a rout of garden snails,
embracing the idea that the future of planetary
knowledge depends on perpetual negotiation
between humans, animals, and technology.

The virtual realm of this world, is populated with an archive of uncatalogued gastropods from the
London Natural History Museum. Each visitor
releases a unique xenophora snail, assisting the
species in escaping traditional categorization until the archive is emptied and only the trails and paths remain.
