FalseFront is pleased to present the site-specific installation, Hylozoic, from Emily Nachison. Working from the philosophical theory that all things–living and inanimate hold life, and therefore are universally related, Nachison constructs grand geologic environments from the man-made synthetics.
Hylozoism, (from Greek hyle, “matter”; zoe, “life”), in philosophy, any system that views all matter as alive, either in itself or by logically in the operation of a world soul or some similar principle. Hylozoism is logically distinct both from early forms of animism, which personify nature, and from panpsychism, which attributes some form of consciousness or sensation to all matter.
