\u201cShould the Earth become inhospitable to human life, might plants evolve and mutate to reclaim it, restoring humanity to its rightful place within the vast scale of the universe? Faced with imminent extinction, will humans seek new spaces to conquer, inhabit, and tame? Does humanity\u2019s imperial mindset toward Earth and future worlds ultimately lead to its downfall?<\/em>\u201d (from curatorial text written by Julie Bonzon for The New Empire exhibition in Bucharest) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
