What if the body could be read as a map? What landscapes, memories, and unknown geographies might it contain?

In times of planetary destruction, Tentacular Atlas is an immersive video installation that approaches the body as a living atlas—an ecosystem in constant transformation. Through a poetic composition of images and sound, the work brings together five performance and dance artists who create tentacular bodies: porous, mutable, and relational.

Across multiple screens, bodies unfold as territories—where skin becomes terrain, gesture becomes passage, and cells become constellations. These bodies do not represent the world; they reconfigure it, mapping new forms of existence through contact, transformation, and interdependence.

Inspired by Octavia Butler, Donna Haraway, Anna Tsing and Jota Mombaça, the work weaves a web of bodily, affective, and speculative narratives. Tentacular Atlas is an invitation to dream futures where mutation is the path.
