Land & Animal & Nonanimal turns the attention from the built space to the postnatural landscapes of planet Earth. In his interview about urban soils of the Anthropocene, landscape architect Seth Denizen considers a history of land use practices that is also reflected in artist Robert Zhao Renhui’s photographs of Singapore as a scenario of continuous development. Inspired by a recent visit to the environment of Wendover in the Utah desert, Richard Pell and Lauren Allen of Pittsburgh’s Center for Post Natural History make a case for a postnatural imprint upon the geologic aspects inherent in the concept of the Anthropocene. By encountering “the last snail,” environmental historicist and philosopher Thom van Dooren considers the meaning of hope and care in the context of species extinction. Curator Natasha Ginwala’s paginated series turns to cosmological and ancestral human-animal scenarios.
