THE SPINE
installation performance
A living path woven into the earth
inviting the flow of personal visions
to merge with the memories of the land
molding a collective earth body
that allows the possibility of repair to emerge
THE SPINE offers a relational interface with the territories it inhabits, consciously interweaving people within the textures of the very soil. Feeling like a form of socio-environmental acupuncture, THE SPINE gently punctuates and revitalizes the earth's body, allowing us to collectively (re)generate. Tracing a pathway through land, this installation resembles a living geoglyph within a ceremonial unit.
Formed through communal and intimate bonds, THE SPINE is setup and activated across continents, where we discover how restorative processes can be shared. Together, we craft counter-systemic remedies that challenge the imperial logic of land, and carry the silenced stories of territories into the future.

Curated by Marieke De Munck
The SPINE installation is currently set out at Zarlardingas Farm. Mid July 2026, THE SPINE will be activated through an intimate, participatory trajectory of invitees. Following this activation, we are opening the doors to the general public for a series of guided tours.
