First Encounters

What happens, if two species that have never interacted before are now going to encounter due to anthropocentrically changed climatic circumstances?
.
The project “First Encounters” tells the stories of species that meet for the very first time, due to climate-change induced range shifts. The installation visualizes possible consequences that travel through local and global ecologies to various human-made systems. Manifesting there as real every-day challenges for us humans to overcome. The mission of the project is to make the consequences we set off with our own actions a spatial experience, showing that we are just one species amongst many.
