Drawing from Nikolai Fedorov’s philosophy of cosmism and its utopian drive to unite humanity to overcome death, COMMON TASK critically reactivates this legacy for a present marked by division and neo-imperialism.
The stone functions as a return to a primordial gesture of making. Through sustained labor, the work asks whether humanity might be reconstituted - not through empire, but through the endurance of a single action carried across many bodies and time.
An unbroken chain of labor. 8 hours of friction, water, sand and stone. The live action ending in noise, classical instruments, and stone.
