“The soil is a medium in which various actors manifest themselves, then disappear. It is a peculiar scene of appearances and retreats, which are pervaded by various rhizomatic roots and vegetal modes of existence. Within this medium rhizomatic arrangements are functioning, making even the apparently deserted areas liveable When Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari wrote about the ‘collective arrangements of enunciation’, they thought of the unaware acquirement and transfer of ecological information in the rhizomatic operation. Each plant needs to entirely fill its environment, while it lives unreflected among its own networks and elements. Vegetal existence is also an elementary existence, living together with compounds, climate change and particles. The world itself has a kind of ‘radical aliveness’ which has been ignored far too long by the scientistic worldview operating with dead matter. In order to disseminate their seeds plants make their way to fields. This involves the whole planet in the process of life, starting from invisible underground work, which can be approached by us only with difficulty. Yet, at the same time, by this peculiar shaping of the soil and underground vegetal operation it also connects the depth and invisible layers of the planet with air and the sky via its stems and trunks, thus creating a globally extensive cosmopolitical sphericity, which can be called biosphere.” Text by Márk Horváth
