How to provide for our needs in a planet inhabited by nothing and no one? Questioning the living conditions of humans on Mars, designers Fred Erik & Pleun van Dijk outline a scenario in which man has to resort to his own body production - hair, skin, sweat - as primary material in order to survive.
Entitled The Body Garden, their speculative project highlights both the tools needed to collect organic material and its potential use. The aim, however, is broader and paradigmatic: to overthrow the speciesism on which our existence is based, assuming a future in which not only we could count only on ourselves as our unique food source, but also other living species could use us as a supply.
