Museo de la Extinción del Hombre Contemporáneo
MUSEO DE LA EXTINCIÓN DELS HOMBRE CONTEMPORÁNEO
What will the present be like when it is past? Museo de la Extinción del Hombre Contemporáneo is an expression of Latin-futuristic imagination and critical distancing from our times, proposed by artists Natasha Padilha, Natalia Soldera and André Felipe. The piece, inspired by the cabinets of curiosities and European ethnological museums of colonial times, consists of a guided tour through the heritage of a museum in 3021, which tells the story of contemporary Western society based on the ruins found by the archaeologists of the future.
Transdisciplinary between visual installation and performative experience, the work harnesses contemporary objects to trace the history of a society and human beings that became extinct in the 21st century (where they lived, what they ate, how they buried the dead, etc.). Moreover, from a decolonial standpoint, it speculates on the global impacts of humanity in the Anthropocene era and their future implications.
The project has been supported by Imma Mesas.
