Abstract
If Matter Poetics, Melange and the Lichenised Posthuman is a universal examination of the interconnected fragments of life, Method/s for Hereafter is a far more personal look into what has transpired in the artist’s life since the original submission of the first essay. Fidkin uses their theory of Matter Poetics as a tool for processing grief, experiencing pleasure, suffering and sickness, and understanding their ever-evolving existence and connection to the more-than-human. Events – both poignant and inconsequential – are scrutinized at a molecular level, attempting to draw parallels between rhizomatic thinking and personal adversity and joy.
