Himali Singh Soin works across text, performance, and moving image. She utilises metaphors from the natural environment to construct speculative cosmologies that reveal non-linear entanglements between human and non-human life. Her poetic methodology explores the myriad ways of knowing, from scientific to intuitional, indigenous, and alchemical processes. Outer space is often used as a place from which to navigate alien distances and earthly intimacy, rewiring ideas of nativism, nationality, nihilism, and cultural flight.
The artist's inspirations include the ancient Stoics and contemporary literature, travel diaries, and ancient diagrams. By manipulating semiotic flows, she creates conditions for the observation of microstructures of social and geo-poetic time. In the face of extinction, her work insists on resurgence.
