Design Lab
The design laboratory for the post Anthropocene in Shenkar enables individuals and groups to internalize nature’s perspective, imagine new possibilities for nature during and after the climate crisis, decode the meanings of these possibilities and communicate them to the public, educators, experts, and decision-makers.

Human-Wheat: Simulation for the exhibition ‘Beyond’ / The Old Jaffa flour mill
DESCRIPTION
PROJECT FILE
The interactive installation 'Human-Wheat' is a speculative-critical project that seeks to question the relationship between humans and wheat in an era where there is no hierarchical separation between humans and nature.
During the Anthropocene, humans have designed wheat varieties that are easy to grow and process. Modern wheat and its product, flour, have become symbols for human control over nature, and their ecological impacts are expressed in environmental challenges and loss of biodiversity. In the 'Human-Wheat' installation, the Jaffa Flour Mill ceased to operate, but it was not abandoned and destroyed. From the wheat grains that remained on the ground, local wheat continued to develop and proliferate, which is no longer domesticated. The mill, which was once a place for grinding wheat, has become a place the symbolizes the renewal of the ancient relationship between humans and wheat.
Through both sound and movement, the installation offers an opportunity to communicate with the wheat and momentarily merge into its world in a way where both sides (humans and wheat) have equal influence.
