Whatever planet, let’s go! Or, TrollVision for Future

Dear fellow creature,This abstract comes from a place of waste, wounds, and wonders. Our generation was born on a dump. Fruit trees still grow here, sea birds fill their bellies with plastic. Do you hear how silent the spring is?

The wild boars grub, the plantation foil flutters around the black moldy branches of the hybrid poplar. "Whatever planet, let’s go!!" Kind of.

What is the alternative?"Whatever planet, let’s go!” or TrollVision for Future (affiliated to Linnaeus University, based on Trollperception in the Heartlands​ – artistic research to widen our imagination capacity) is a series of three digital multimedial fairy tales, TrollVisions, targeted towards and made in collaboration with three different professional groups; architects and planners, preschool and art pedagogues and cultural bureaucrats.

The TrollVisions communicate the reciprocal relationship between humanity and nature, expanding the formal field used to generate sustainable future scenarios through site-specific crafting, performing, and animating informed by folktales and mythology, critical queer decolonial environmentalisms, technology studies and posthumanism.

Through artistic means, the TrollVisions provide concrete tools; workshop methods, perspectives and strategies for the professional groups to use within their respective contexts with the aim to imagine a world in which we all have a chance to survive. The project runs through 2024 to be finished in February 2025.
