The exhibition catalog Power Plants by the Berlin-based artist duo kennedy+swan revolutionizes our understanding of nature and humanity's place within it. This book breaks with the arrogant anthropocentric worldview and poses the question: Why should humans rule over the evolution of plants and animals?

The works of Bianca Kennedy and Swan Collective, who have been collaborating on virtual reality and augmented reality projects, drawings, installations, and films since 2013, tell of an alternative world. In this world, nature finally reclaims its rightful dominance. The artists present a vision in which nature triumphs over humanity, redefining our understanding of the hierarchy between humans and the environment.

Power Plants takes us on a journey through various media. From virtual reality and augmented reality works to drawings, installations, and films, the works of kennedy+swan offer a wide range of artistic expressions that depict a future world where nature is once again at the center.
