Arid is a multidisciplinary installation that examines the fate of humanity in a future following a civilizational and ecological collapse. It is a world in which humankind has been erased, leaving behind only the continuation of its own technological achievements. At the centre of the exhibition stands the image of the “last human” — a recurring anthropomorphic motif representing the final being still capable of guilt, prayer, suffering, and hope. It is precisely this residual humanity that distinguishes it from the surrounding world, yet it does not grant the power to alter the inevitable outcome. It remains only as a witness. The Earth is a barren landscape. The human figure embraces a dead tree or stretches its arms toward the sky — a gesture of mourning for nature and an appeal to something beyond it.
The exhibition space also presents a series of spherical autonomous robots, embodying artificial intelligence as a possible successor to humanity. They move in response to a sequence of specific tones embedded in the installation's third element: a multichannel audio composition of wind, low-frequency sounds, and distant, unstable vocal fragments that evoke a sense of emptiness and a long-lost human presence.
In this possible future, relationships between humans and technology no longer exist. Technology no longer needs humanity. It lives an autonomous life, possesses its own will, and pursues its own interests. From this point on, technology initiates a form of existence beyond human control and logic.
