Seeds

Abstract

‘Inheritance’ by Anna Madeleine explores elements of our current food culture that are in danger of becoming extinct because of climate change, and considers what will remain for generations to come. Part of ‘Absolutely Famished’, a creative exploration of future food curated by Dr Renee Beale, underpinned by scientific research imagining the 22nd century marketplace.

In Seeds, short stop-motion animations of almond, apple, cacao, chickpea, coffee, cotton, grapevine and walnut seedlings – all endangered because of climate change, are looped and played continuously on small screens placed inside beakers. The series considers genetic modification of produce and possibilities for future regeneration of crops with the aid of technology. Show more
