Hortus futuru

"Hortus Futuru" is the title of the multimedia artwork in situ that was created by direct intervention on a rock placed in the forest with the intention to slow down the visitors and invite them to notice, observe and dive into sensation of the invisible world of nature.

 With text written in Braille alphabet, the artwork acquires an inclusive attribute and a performative element when the "hidden" message is read. In the absence of tactile reading artwork remains a minimal, almost invisible visual installation that draws attention to the surrounding micro world. Intense during performative reading and quiet and visually non-invasive, it opens the question of mutual coexistence and draws attention to all those who are less visible and often marginalized in a society burdened by desire for greater and faster mass production. "Hortus Futuru" gives an active role to nature and people with impaired vision, who are the only catalyst and activator of the artwork itself as the only mediators who convey the message.

 This artwork is a continuation of a series of works that dealt with issues of capital as the only means of communication and interaction in today's society and the world, the impact of mass production on the natural environment, the dominance of the Anthropocene and the Capitalocene. Writings that were intentionally left for cognition only during performative reading, warn and remind us that it is important to listen and feel nature and its messages with all senses. The sentences are quotes from the catalog that accompanied the latest body of works "Botanica Futura, Botanica Nova" by curator Teodra Jeremić. The works reveal the complex interdependent ecologies: the social, mental and ecology of the natural environment that Gattari talks about and open the question of the legacy that our neglect of these ecologies has left us, but even more importantly, what will be the one that remains behind us.
