My practice focuses on investigating the relationships between the human and the non-human, with particular attention to the social dynamics of utility across all living creatures, from the micro to the macro scale. I begin from the premise that everything is life, and that life unfolds autonomously, independently of our actions—even when it is we who determine its timing and modes. In my work I employ a plurality of languages and techniques, ranging from selection to experimentation and manipulation of specific materials. These processes aim to generate forms or dynamics that adhere to principles of environmental sustainability. My research seeks to challenge the anthropocentric paradigm, highlighting the problematic aspects that arise from the interaction between humans and biological life within an increasingly technological context. Through a combination of digital and analog media, my visual apparatuses create environments that not only engage with the spaces they inhabit, but transform them through scents and atmospheres. Each installation becomes a microcosm in which nature, technology, and society enter into dialogue, making tangible the subtle—and often invisible—connections that exist between them.
*Future Forward Feature "Stato di emergenza (State of Emergency) steers its inquiry toward a multispecies perspective, acknowledging the agency of living beings beyond the human. The project dismantles an anthropocentric paradigm grounded in market utility, proposing instead a view of life as intrinsically valuable—useful, yet not reducible to a mere economic resource or aesthetic instrument.The research and encounters with spontaneous plants thus become a practice for building multispecies relationships, and an imaginative device to envision a “nation” on a horizontal plane, where all species coexist on equal terms.Visit the nation at this link: https://www.raimondocoppola.com/stato-emergenza/"
