Humans always knew that their existence on planet earth, like the nonhumans organisms, is temporary. But since the emergence of patriarchy, the natural power structure in human eyes has taken turn. Nowadays, the human society no longer passively submits to the presence of Nature but rather takes the control of Nature on its own behalf. As Aristotle claimed, on earth, as on Mount Olympus, the man is the true creator—form, number, and movement—all come from him.
Through embroidery, writing, and sound, POST COΪTUM OMNE ANIMAL TRISTE examines the power structure between the human and the nonhuman. It suggests that only by reviving our mortality salience can we imagine alternative life philosophies, self-perceptions, and ways of being.
