Katherine Ball is a habitat for fungi and bacteria located on planet Earth. Moving together in symbiosis, they practice the art of living on a damaged planet. Their artistic interventions reimagine the infrastructure of everyday life, including: living in an off-grid floating island building mushroom filters to clean a polluted lake, bicycling across the USA looking for “solutions” to the climate crisis, coordinating a national day of action to halt business at banks and corporations influencing state laws, and apprenticing with nature to learn the biological counterpart to civil disobedience. An amateur in the best sense of the word, originally from Detroit, Michigan and currently based in Berlin, Katherine strives to give more energy to our dreams than our fears.
