ABSTRACT
The art practice I discuss in this essay responds to this emergency in a way that balances species-specicity with global ecological awareness. Its intense focus on a single species is motivated by a concern for-rather than disinterest in-the fate of all species. And it understands that fate in a way that is best described as “anthropocenic,” to mark the vital need, at this rapidly unfolding juncture, for concerted and universal human attention to the environment, no matter what the historical causes of-and specic culprits behind-the current crisis.
