Planetary Intimacies works in the friction between planetary and personal scale. Through artistic field research and installation, the project investigates landscapes as active systems: with memory, material logic and their own language. It engages with processes of transformation at sites where geological, institutional, and biographical time overlap. How do landscapes remember? How do they dissolve, reform, and alter the ways we perceive them?
Planetary Intimacies creates spaces for encounter beyond human-centered perspectives, embracing material agency and planetary scale. The project unfolds in glaciers, meteorite impact zones, contaminated soils, and laboratories, where planetary forces shape both the visible and the invisible, tracing fragile stories of intimacy and change.

Planetary Intimacies is less about authorship or visibility, and more about a way of approaching the world – an attempt to stand beside something, not above it. The pseudonym protects the freedom to be precise, to doubt, to be uncomfortable – to be hard and fragile at the same time. It resists recognition in favour of resonance. Planetary Intimacies is not a persona, but a position. A position that invites others to fill in the gaps, and to ask: With what view do I look at the world? And what does this perspective do to me, to society, and to the planet?
