almanacS

My recent work "Wanderings" considers how folk stories influence the formation of identity. It's by researching many creation myths and folklore that I began contemplating how the complexity of human life and storytelling is so entangled with nature and our ecological surroundings. The Almanac Print series I created for Undecimals is an explorational narrative, which blends histories of human life, nature, and ecology, through visual storytelling. Each composition contains the same elements, and each composition tells a different story.

Shown here: Almanac I, Almanac IV, Almanac VII, Alamanac X of 12. 12"x12", Printed on Entrada archivial, 100% cotton (300 g/m)
ALMANAC - 2020 - ANNA BINTA DIALLO

" Life as we know it is dead, Civilization as we know it is dead- the rise of the Chtulucene. The need for a new creation mythology and tales. As we cannot continue live as we do in a anthropocenic fossil- capital driven era, since its bound to kill us all, there is an urgency to end it, and work in the consequences of it, the post- anthropocene or as donna haraway name it Chtulucene. As the complexity to live a world more than human with its entanglement, disharmonic symbiotic relationships, scales and forces not visible nor predictable for human mind, we might need the fantastical/imaginative storytelling and narrative capacities of the mythology and fairy tale, the stories of larger than life to engage in this complex conundrum of all lives, organic, inorganic etc. It's a form that has a potent capacity to speculate, that seems as a need in a totally unpredictable and non controlled world situation.''
