This project emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic as an exploration of possible futures through speculative fabulation—that narrative practice Donna Haraway calls SF: science fiction, speculative fabulation, string figures. Science fiction becomes here a generative technology for building worlds through cultivating possibilities already latent in the present.
The various stories intertwine prototypical narratives: imperfect but generative futures that refuse both impossible utopia and paralyzing dystopia.
The stories are told from multiple perspectives: human, more-than-human, other-than-human. In each story my body appears as an experimental constant, a diffractive surface through which different futures manifest. Through years of developing the project, my form becomes a recurring sample for exploring how identity multiplies across parallel temporalities.
Each story takes form as a video work accompanied by a speculative artifact that materializes the narrative possibilities. These object-processes exist simultaneously as prototypes and living organisms. A garment that grows with its wearer, an architecture that breathes, a vehicle that metabolizes: they are material companions that extend the stories into the physical world.
The project operates through what the present contains in potential. Stories from the future act as temporal enzymes, catalyzing transformations already possible but not yet visible.
The project positions itself as a narrative mycelium open to contamination and invites those who encounter it to graft other stories, contributing to an ecology of narratives that replaces the monocultural imaginary of the future with a biodiversity of possible tomorrows.
