Night Soil – Nocturnal Gardening & Manimal

Part of the Festival “The Mole Keeps on Digging. Animals / Politics / Performance”

Film

English / 

Visual artist Melanie Bonajo’s work is shaped by her critical stance towards capitalism and her ambivalence regarding the blind celebration of progress. “Night Soil – Nocturnal Gardening” draws portraits of four women who have created communities in which they enter into intimate and sustainable relationships with their environments. They do not simply articulate a pessimist critique of civilization, but seek to establish new agreements between humans, animals, and nature. To achieve this goal, they take cues from social movements and structures of self-organization. It is for this reason that “Manimal” also bespeaks the desire for an intimate relationship with the environment.
