Open the Night (En) Hausvogteiplatz
Open the Night is a multi-channel audiowalk by Jeremy Knowles addressing the consequences of light pollution for nocturnal urban ecologies.
Any lasting symbiosis between moths and humans in cities of the future requires that we re-evaluate our relationship with darkness: we must reclaim our wildness. The survival of moths, and therefore of ourselves as a species wholly reliant upon the vital role that moths play as nocturnal pollinators, hinges upon our ability to rethink our relationship with the night. Urban moths have taken one step closer to our diurnal experience of time by desensitising their attraction to artificial light.
What will be our next evolutionary move?
Simply put on your headphones and explore the area to discover what moths have to say.
