Back to Earth presents a new mini-podcast series inspired by the publication of 140 Artists’ Ideas for Planet Earth, a collaboration between Serpentine and Penguin. Edited by Hans Ulrich Obrist & Kostas Stasinopoulos, this book is part of Back to Earth, Serpentine’s long-term project dedicated to the environment and the climate emergency. For this podcast series we’ve invited five artists from the book to share their contributions and take us on a journey through actions and thoughts their instructions might inspire. In this episode, artist and musician Nahum invites us to experience intimacy with our planet and our galaxy. Exploring earthbound existence, through visible and invisible connections, Nahum encourages listeners to open their mouths when it’s raining, swallow a piece of cloud and travel to outer space. Back to Earth is curated and produced by Rebecca Lewin, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Lucia Pietroiusti, Jo Paton, Holly Shuttleworth and Kostas Stasinopoulos. Special thanks to Bettina Korek, CEO of Ser
