Taking Ludvig Holberg’s proto-sci-fi novel Underground Travels (1741) as its starting point, “Iter Subterraneum” at Bergen Kunsthall (NO) imagines nonhuman ways of sensing and reasoning. Artists including Cecilia Fiona, Wangechi Mutu, and Anicka Yi shift perspective toward plants, fungi, and insects—echoing Holberg’s sentient trees. Naomi Rincón-Gallardo’s Dung Kinship (2024), for example, fantastically chronicles ‘fly women’ and ‘dung folk’ transforming rot into regenerative force.
