[EN] Isabel Burr Raty* invites friends, colleagues and others to participate in ‘The Power Plant’ research. In her garden, she and her collaborators are developing a nomadic playground that is crafted into the earth. It comprises several stations that offer retro-futuristic devices and body practice scores, to experience an embodied SciFi that collectivizes the ecstatic and channels new visions about future interconnectivity and relations.

*With a background as an activist filmmaker working with indigenous nations in Latin America, and a sexual Kung Fu initiate, Isabel Burr Raty‘s artistic practice weaves methods for embodied Sci-Fi, through hybrid formats that are installed and adapted to in-situ conditions. These invite the public to participate in hyper-reality settings that challenge the commodification of ‘goods’ and propose economies of pleasure exchange. Offering empowering experiences that liberate bodies from colonial perspectives in collective settings. For example The Beauty Kit Farm, manufactures cosmetic products with human erotic juices. Currently, with The Power Plant (working title) research, Isabel hopes to expand her eco-erotic arsenal and develop new lines of magic transpersonal objects.
