The Posthuman Garden

Posthuman Garden stages a field of relations in which human, machine, and material coexist without a fixed center. Inspired by the concept of basho, the work understands identity not as something stable or internal, but as something that emerges through shifting interactions between bodies, environments, and technological systems.

Within the installation, modular structures, robotic agents, and an AI-mediated perspective continuously reshape one another. Nothing is fully stable, responsive, or complete. Instead, meaning arises through accumulation, delay, and negotiation. The work asks: in a world where agency is no longer exclusively human, what does it mean to exist?
