In a time marked by climate and health crises, Fallowland explores how lying fallow and resting can offer new perspectives on sustainability — for both the earth and the body.
Fallowland is a reflection on what it means to rest – a sensory tour and a shelter exploring fallowing, the practice of ‘resting’ soil. Through acknowledging that soil, and by extension the earth, is a shared space, Fallowland explores rest as a relational and active process, and how it is intimately linked to both human and planetary health.
Rest as Resistance In a world marked by overproduction and overconsumption, the need for rest becomes increasingly urgent. When both land and people are exhausted, it becomes necessary to lie fallow—to allow space, time, and peace for regeneration. Through art and science, this installation explores that need and shows how the pause can be an active and powerful act.
