Kishkindha: New York STIMMEN
For too long the forest and city have been at odds. The one chopped down to build the other.
The Ramayana (an ancient Hindu epic) describes a forest-city inhabited by monkey creatures.It is called Kishkindha.
It is not a bucolic paradise as would be understood in the West,
but a place nonetheless where humans, flora and fauna live in immediate proximity.
What if New York could be transformed into a Kishkindha?
What if it was designed not by planners? But by the root systems of trees and mushrooms?
What if it was designed not as land but as land/water.
What if huge creatures appeared that slowly ate away the old city, and in their tracks left the beginnings of a verdant forest and a new post-human order.
What if these creatures - at first man-made, would become over time anabiotic entities living on their own, moving every further afield.
Creatures that are part bio-organic machine, part deity, destroying and rebuilding.
A shape shifting city.
A city which is not one.
