The theme of cross-species collaboration is central to Dedication, a series of video haiku that pays homage to cross-species collaboration by addressing the vast underground symbiotic system between plant roots and fungi that allows trees to feed and communicate with each other, emphasised by Tobias Koch’s bass soundtrack. Orlow’s incisive and contemplative practice beckons us towards what can be called a “vegetal pedagogy”: it shows how conspiring with plants can stand as ethical action and ecological repair.
