The short-video SYMBIOSCENE 2053 takes the audience to a new area. It is our belief that all life-forms exist within a synergetic symbiosis, a constant state of interconnection. We created a collection that follows this bio-aware ethos, incorporating the lifecycles of all organisms and biota. The making of each garment is a ceremonial act, a rite through which we worship the base and soil of each design – a creation born out of unconditional empathy for our surroundings.

It is a response to the contemporary urgency of our devastating ecological impact that denatures and disintegrates.

“It has been 15 years since the day we left biodome 13, the region previously known as Berlin.

Earthly territories now form a vast, arid landscape. Ruthless and formidable. The biosphere disintegrated at the a-hands of humanity: we had reached, and transgressed, our ecological tipping points. In search for a new light; we adopt to the new dusk of our planet, a change that is inevitable in a post-catastrophe timeline.

We have entered the Symbioscene and transitioned into a new geo-logical epoch:

We no longer seek to regulate, we adapt. And we are all interconnected.”
