Something To Think About

Wish You Were Here is a participatory art project by Lisa Klapstock that facilitates a guided encounter between a human and a plant, culminating in a formal photographic portrait printed on a carte de visite postcard. This project encourages reflection on our relationship with nature and the importance of acknowledging non-human beings as living entities worthy of attention and care.

Launching at Nuit Blanche on October 5, 2024, as part of the Canadian theatre company STO Union's Hopes Fears Assembly at Harbourfront Centre, the project serves as a modern homage to the 19th-century carte de visite trend, which connected people through shared photographs. By mailing these postcards, participants engage in a meaningful experience that fosters a sense of interconnectedness with nature and promotes peaceful coexistence.
