Last Species On Earth [2022]
Exploring topics of extinction and the commodification of nature, Last Species On Earth is a multi-channel video installation which weaves together a speculative reality where the last surviving specimens of plant and animal origin are kept in incubation chambers, situatin viewers as zoo attendees. Last Species On Earth fragments the evolution of plants and animals as we know them today, following what natural selection would look like if nature were to adapt in total agreement with humanity's desire to domesticate it.

Last Species On Earth was created during the “Ecologies & Cosmologies: Themed Commission” residency at Trinity Square Video and exhibited at Whippersnapper Gallery in Toronto, Ontario.
