Fabrica Mundi is a phrase I lifted from Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilon’s book Border as Method. They say “... fabrica mundi resonates with the celebrated image of the homo faber fortunae suae (man as master and creator of his own destiny).” The phrase fabrica mundi relays how Man thought he could make the world around himself, surveying, collecting, totalising and divvying up.
Working with found aerial photographs of what I believe to be the California deserts, these geological, military records become the foundation for a deeper inquiry into manifest destiny, private property, and the archival matter where the past lives on shaping much of our fears and desires.
Fabrica Mundi is both mythological and personal, located at the interstices between spirit and flesh, property and revelation, pleasure, death and toxicity, this piece wants to remind us that- the land is alive and thinking, and history is not in the past but lives with us today.
I aim to blur conceptualizations of the rational and the irrational. In creating a foil for the imagination, a poetic amalgamation, I reconsider how space, time and ground are culturally constructed. Peering in from a birds eye view, you are either a ghost, a god, or at war with the gods.

“A tree … has no intention of relating to beauty, of being artistic. The tree … wasn't made for man.” States Anthony Lumsden a California based architect who designed the legendary water reclamation plant in Van Nuys topped with the SuihoEn Japanese Garden- which is so aesthetically pleasing that Star Trek used the site in one of its most famous episodes. The phrase The tree… wasn’t made for Man helps me think through this reality from a post-humanist lens. Moving beyond humanist sensibilities can break down the boundaries between self and other and perhaps, promote a coalescing of spirit and matter. We wake up, we breathe in unfathomable bits of dust particulate, of dirt, dander and pollen; yet we (for the most part) function. Or as Donna Haraway explains: our DNA is stored in only 10 % of our body- the rest is given over to bacteria. How much of “us” is really ours?
