Cutting it off at Homo Sapien, and separating ourselves from natural history is comical, self-glorifying, but most importantly, completely impossible. Everything we are, individually and as a species, is a part of natural history, which is the only history. To invent our own, is to tell the story of the world, but just foolishly and clumsily under an extremely humanist lens.

But then, as a human, trying to make that protest this idea, or trying to make art for anything other than humans, is maybe more foolish and clumsy, but also enjoyable and interesting.

In droopy history, we can explore alternatives: the idea of history as told by and for rocks, or plants, or worms or any other species living or dead. We allow for space and time lose their rules and become more fluid. We allow for mythology and science to become intertwined. Droopy History functions in the way science fiction can. It shows us a slightly shifted version of our world to which we can compare with our own reality and it has become a framework for me to test possibilities within.
