Sculpture Biennale

Trans*Plant: Open the Molecule - First Chlorophyll Intravenous is a transdisciplinary project, initiated by Quimera Rosa in 2016, based on living systems and self-experimentation. It is a process that engages a body in a "human > plant" transition and uses various formats for this. The video presented here condenses the research to realize the first chlorophyll intravenous in human body and the performance realized in Kapelica Gallery in 2017.

In order to be able to think a non-anthropocentric ecology, we need to move from essence-based identities to relationship-based identities. A process of human > plant transition that includes a chlorophyll intravenous protocol, and through the fantasies, fears and judgments that this generates opens the debate about the identity system that is at stake. A process of self-experimentation that has nothing individual, since the people who accompany her transit with her. Obtaining a pure chlorophyll molecule poses the same obstacles for the pharmaceutical and biomedical industry and the legal and health system as obtaining testosterone. It is the very stuff of life that is patented.

We had a dream. And we made it real. So what’s better place than Jinhae Dream Park to share it with you?
