“Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.” Eleanor Roosevelt
Nature has proved to be an immortal space for standing up against humankind’s destructive acts. Nature preserved itself against culture’s desires, fears and the power of shaping, and it has constantly renewed itself.
Immortality is eternal life, being exempt from death, unending existence. Some modern species may eventually possess biological immortality. Certain scientists, futurists, and philosophers have theorized about the immortality of the human body, with some suggesting that human immortality may be achievable in the first few decades of the next century.
Other advocates believe that life extension is a more achievable goal in the short term, with immortality awaiting further research breakthroughs. The absence of aging would provide humans with biological immortality, although not invulnerability to death by disease or physical trauma. The posited uploading of ones’ thoughts and memories could one day even overcome even the physical destruction of the body itself, however.
The exhibition «IMMORTALITY» explores a human longing to constantly regenerate, reincarnate and reach towards an unending existence as it is found in nature. At the same time necessarily fixed and immutable, these pieces capture an essence of that ambition forevermore.
