Institute of Puddleology

Institute of Puddleology is an installation exploring puddles as anthropogenic phenomena specific to certain urban sites — intimately linked to urban ecology and the climate crisis. Appearing in the cracks of human-shaped environments, puddles reflect their surroundings, form ecological niches, and reveal the interdependence between infrastructures, water cycles and climate. Through photographs, samples, forensic traces, a classification system and an invented terminology, this work highlights puddles as overlooked indicators of ecological balance and transformation.
