In our world, where everything is interconnected, nothing can exist independently. Therefore, each individual is also dependent on the whole.
People with capitalist, autocratic and kleptocratic views do not recognise these connections, but help themselves to the world without giving back what is needed. This leads the world as a whole into a dangerous imbalance.
The work „Eversion“ takes a counter-position here. It is based on the „Carrier Bag Theory“ (1), which states that the first tool our ancestors developed was not a weapon, but a carrier bag for collecting, transporting or caring for something. This theory was popularised by Ursula K. Le Guin's „The Carrier-Bag Theory of Fiction“(2).
Small twigs, grasses, roots, as used by some animals to build their nests, were collected from non-human nature. These materials were used to make small containers, such as nests or eversions. These objects were then returned to the non-human environment – unintentionally – as a space of possibility for something new to emerge.
