Kingdom Plantae is a speculative fiction imagining a future in which humanity has vanished after irreversibly disrupting Earth’s balance. Nature, marked by anthropization and technological contamination, re-emerges in hybrid form—ecosystems reconstructed through data and pixels, luminescent plants sustained by a generator on a natural–artificial platform. Created in collaboration with artificial intelligence, the work challenges anthropocentric perceptions and redefines biological classification, offering a fluid vision of endangered biodiversity. Beyond dystopia, Kingdom Plantae unfolds as a visual poem where nature and technology fuse in cycles of mutation and regeneration, crafting posthuman landscapes suspended between decay and renewal.

Citron | Lunardi is the collaborative practice of Selene Citron (b. 1986) and Luca Lunardi (b. 1980). Citron’s research spans digital fabrication, performance, and 3D printing, alongside teaching sculpture at the Liceo Artistico Amedeo Modigliani in Padua. Lunardi, specializing in scientific communication and documentary, explores the intersections of cinema, video art, science, and animal studies. For over a decade the duo has investigated the evolving relations between humans and non-humans across art, science, and technology, using video, photogrammetry, and 3D printing to imagine posthuman forms of coexistence. Their work merges the analogue and the digital, the natural and the artificial, envisioning speculative ecologies of interspecies symbiosis beyond an anthropocentric worldview, and has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
