SUPERFLEX is an artist group established by Jakob Fenger, Bjørnstjerne Christiansen, and Rasmus Nielsen that explores themes of environmental sustainability and social change, often engaging both human and non-human actors. Interspecies Assembly (2024), located in Capital Park, is a gathering space where humans and other species can coexist. A series of pink marble sculptures arranged in a broken circle create a space where people are encouraged to slow down, listen, and engage with the voices of other life forms. An ‘Interspecies Contract’ carved into the sculpture urges visitors to reconsider their human-centred perspective, nurturing a more inclusive understanding of natural ecosystems. The broken circle represents both harmony and conflict, reflecting the need for consensus and disagreement in interspecies coexistence.
