Comissioned by and premiered at Musik Installationen Nuremberg, financed by Federal Cultural Foundation Germany
Moreth Anhuman – a typo? A sound error? A cross-species sci-fi fable about communication, intelligence and coexistence by artist Anke Eckardt.
Animal communication oscillates between language and music. What is voice, what is language, what is music? Who decides what counts as thinking? A change of perspective that decodes semantics and names.
Moreth Anhuman (Part 1) is a multi-channel video and sound installation consisting of amorphous inflatables, flexibly arranged in an indoor space. As living entities their bodies physically increase and decrese, they are breathing. Changing their skins they oscillate between paleontological animal cave paintings of mainly destincted species and futuristic animal-like appearances, that are archaic as well as hybrid in their living forms.
Simultaneously projection surface and breathing entities, the inflatables shift the barrier between narrator and narrated, viewer and viewee.

Where does self-realization as a concept lead in a world that is not only dominated by humans? The fixation on human rationality has alienated us – from nature, from other forms of life. What could a future look like in which technology and ecology coexist in harmony?
