Ninfa Aeterna: The Human Between the Animal and the Extensiveness of the Universe

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2020

Abstract

The Ancient Greek nymph is a creature half human and half in possession of cosmic elements. In this day and age contemplating such mythologies becomes considerably relevant.

A reflection essay on the boundaries of the animal, the human, and that which exceeds human, on formlessness of the human body and the body of nature, opens up new possibilities as to how to think about the current climate crisis in relation to contemporary art (Michele Abeles) and the historical avantgarde (Raoul Ubac).
