Anthropomorphic trouble wants to tackle the complexity of the entanglements between the humans and the Earth. Without solving the trouble, by importing cosmologies, technologies and practices from other times, it searches for the associative joints between different modes of knowing. The perception of time is in motion - it transforms through encounters with texts, stones, animals and other humans. In this way, Anthropomorphic Trouble proposes its own learning structure and involvement with the environment that accounts not only for historical, scientific and cultural, but also personal experiences.

Research project developed at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp and a.pass Brussels. It departs from anxiety as a signal rather than a defined emotion — a shared incapacity within artistic labour that points to something structural. To explore this, I repurposed take-away materials from exhibitions and art events I attended over the years: these ephemeral objects became references and catalysts for speech performances and publications, developed collectively within the program of a.pass in Brussels.
