Where is the Planetary?

Where is the Planetary? ‘Where is the Planetary?’ was an experi­mental confe­rence held at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, conceived as the culmi­nation of his long-standing explo­ration of the Anthro­pocene. Scien­tists, artists and activists from all over the world came together to embark on a colla­bo­rative search for a model of successful coexis­tence on Earth. The confe­rence setting was designed by the artist Koki Tanaka. A key element of Koki Tanaka’s experi­mental set-ups was the presence of the camera. In colla­bo­ration with the film collective TINT, all activities were filmed, thereby directing the viewer’s gaze, via the camera, towards the concrete gestures of being together.
