The Parliament of Things is a speculative research into the emancipation of animals, plants and things. What if we welcome all things into our Parliament, not centred around Men, but around Life? What would be the plight of the planet? The reasoning of a fish? What claims would trees make, and what future would oil see for itself? The Parliament of Things designs a ritual, which will transform attendants into a mountain, a forest, a goldfish – you name it – and will enable them to speak by means of the communication-techniques provided.
