“Sabīne Šnē interprets Gaia to be a living being and a woman. She breathes, moves around, sees, listens and communicates. On Gaia, each of the two-legged anthropomorphic products of a utilitarian system look as if they were a mere grain of pollen, a microbe, a bacteria or a virus. The two are cohabiting units, interacting, complementing, and being at odds with one another.”
Fragment of the text writen by the exhibition’s curator Zane Onckule.
