Blossoms and fruits at once

Starting from the Winogradsky column, a late XIX century
positivist experiment that recreates the first stages
of bacterial life on earth, Blossoms and fruits at once 
is a work that critically reflects on the human desire
to go back to a primordial moment of existence,
connecting local histories, geological temporalities, oral
narratives and magical thought. The aspiration to go back
to an alleged stage where nature nurtures humans
without effort and fatigues, where blossoms and fruits
grow simultaneously breaking the progression
of seasons, has always been a very dangerous myth
in which women, together with all the marginalised people
inscribed in the category of ‘natural’, have had to pay
a very high price.
