Agencia, Relaciones humano-planta, Arte vegetal, Giro vegetal, Artes performativasResumen
Este artículo estudia la agencia de las plantas en la performance multiespecie Ikebana (2022), de Fern Orchestra. La performance no solo está hecha “con” plantas, sino también “para” ellas. A través de un estudio de caso participativo, el artículo muestra cómo, en el marco del “giro vegetal”, como lo denomina Natasha Myers (2015), las plantas en el arte ya no son vistas como objetos pasivos de la expresión artística, como sí ocurre en la historia del arte tradicional. En su lugar, se han convertido en agentes activos en la formación de obras y producciones artísticas. Este giro cuestiona la visión antropocéntrica del arte como una creación exclusivamente humana. Y, lo más importante, invita al ser humano a reposicionarse en un entorno multiespecie más amplio, con el consecuente potencial de generar cambios en las sociedades antropocéntricas.
