In this project, I want to explore Anna Tsing’s ‘the arts of living on a samaged planet.’ Tsing’s concept of “ghosts” within the anthropocene and the “rewinding” of abandoned urban spaces. These landscapes, once shaped by human activity, evole into interstitial spaces where the traces of industrialization and urban development persist.
