“We relate, know, think, world, and tell stories through and with other stories, worlds, knowledges, thinkings, yearnings. (...) Critters are at stake in each other in every mixing and turning of the terran compost pile. We are compost, not posthuman; we inhabit the humusities, not the humanities.”
Ihren Beitrag für das Sommersymposium Lindabrunn nennt Hannah Stippl "Compostist Painting", eine von Donna J. Haraway entlehnte Wortschöpfung, die mit der Ambivalenz der Begriffe von Kompost / Komposition spielt. Malerische Farbflächen, vegetabile Muster und Textpassagen verbinden sich zu einer Betrachtung der menschlichen Beziehung zur Erde und dem Versuch eben diese neu auszurichten.
# WE HAVE CHOSEN TO BE WILDER
# UNRESTRAINED
# INCLUDING THE MORE THAN HUMAN OTHER THAN HUMAN INHUMAN AND HUMAN AS HUMUS
# BECOME WITH EACH OTHER COMPOSTING AND DECOMPOSING
# THE EARTH IS ANIMATED BY COUNTLESS FORMS OF AGENTS
# WATER VEINS ROOT NETWORKS MOLE TUNNELS
# COMPOST HEAPS CATHEDRALS A COSMOS OF BEINGS AND THINGS
# STAY WITH THE EARTH THAT VIBRATES UNDERFOOT
# ROOT IN UNSTABLE GROUND
# WE ARE COMPOSED WE ARE COMPOST
