hello@roseleahy.com&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; IG: @rosesleahy

	Drawing inspiration from the zoetic world, my research explores ecological adaptation, remediation and celebration. Rooted in multispecies ethnography I investigate how more-than-human matters can influence creative practice. These encounters with other kin and phenomena emerge across media including multisensory experiences, data driven sculptures and interactive installations.
Since 2015 I have been collaborating with Amanda Baum. Baum &#38;amp; Leahy is an Earth-based symbiotic practice exploring how sustainable futures can be grown between environmental ethics and multispecies aesthetics. With a multimodal approach, we translate intangible phenomena and complex ecological dynamics into sensorial experiences, whilst collaborating with experts across disciplines, from microbiologists to quantum computer scientists, architects to cosmologists. Through research-led worldmaking and material storytelling, our work allows the beholder a proximity to alternative realities, melting between the feasible and fantastical.

Mikrobia






2020



Baum &#38;amp; Leahy collaboration with Greg Orrom Swan &#38;amp; Deborah Mora
























Produced by&#38;nbsp;Øyteateret
Written by Amalie Olesen

	"Welcome to the theatrical symbiotic
odyssey of Mikrobia: In a fantastic world, full of details, colors and
unexpected formations, we travel through the Finnish forest, through the gut,
through the apocalypse and reincarnation, and into a common future. The
performance invites you into your own body’s billion-metropolis of
microorganisms in search of a relief from the crippling fear of the future that
reigns over us. The performance is created in a meeting between drama,
figurative theater, visual art and music. The scenography consists of the
abstracted body of a tardigrade that has been enlarged a million times, and
holds the entire performance. The composer plays live on stage, while the
actors throw themselves into a shamanistic process in which humans possess
microbes and vice versa." (by Øyteateret)

	Mikrobia premiered at Vega
Scene in Oslo on January 16th 2020. We
developed the tentacular, interactive scenography for this human-microbe
odyssé, which involved tasting blue spirulina, delving into an ‘apocalypse
mediation’ and waking up for microbial rebirth, all encapsulated by a giant
tardigrade-marionette.
The overhanging structure, designed and
developed with Greg
Orrom-Swan, is a giant marionette puppet of the
microscopic tardigrade. It’s a huge suspended, kinetic and tensile structure –
lightweight, collapsable, and animatable. It uses a framework of re-used tent
poles under tension covered in re-purposed ex-military parachute. Nearly all of
the materials used in the scenography are recycled, recyclable or organic.
Mikrobia grew out of the collaborations of an
international superorganism consisting of:
Amalie Olesen (playwright), Ellen Jerstad
(director) and Andrea Skotland (dramaturg and producer) aka Øyteateret,
co-creating performers Huy Le Vo, Kjersti Aas Stenby and Vincent Vernerie, Baum
&#38;amp; Leahy (Amanda Baum and Rose Leahy) in collaboration with Greg Orrom Swan
(scenography), Deborah Mora and Rob Walker (visual fx), and Sjur Miljeteig
(composer).
Also thanks to Kristina Kjeldsberg
(dramaturg), Elin A. Grinaker (dramaturg and translator), Benedikte Sandberg,
Madeleine B. Herholdt, Madeleine F. Røseth (outer eye), Frida Bang Hansen
(stage manager).
Thanks to microbiologist Arne Tronsmo,
participants on early workshops and tests, and students from Lillestrøm vgs.

	The poster is the fragments of a dream about moving around in
microcosmic materiality. Signals and shapes seem interchangeable as the
seemingly orderly world morphs into unpredictable formations. Elements from the
poster - the nervous system of a tardigrade, guts, fluidity of the cellular and
the planet, stretching tentacles and material diversity - all come to life on
stage in Mikrobia.

Featured on BBC: “Is this what future homes will look like?” 










	


















Host is the primordial memory of your future
home.  A gut reaction to the loss of biodiversity within domestic, indoor
ecosystems. This slow, soft, moist and messy antidote to over-sanitised insanity
invites you to feel at home with the presence of your microscopic housemates.
Immerse yourself and your cells in a future of microbiophilic living,  rest and
rewild, heal, host and be hosted by your cohabiting microbes.
Live microbial communities in glass vessels
are suspended over and emerging from a landscape of soft, gut-like cushions.
The cultures reside on the surfaces around you, flow between the vessels, are
distributed via mist and instantly engage in intimate exchange with your
microbial body. Porous, bio-receptive tiles, developed with architect Richard
Beckett, suggest how in the future our surrounding surfaces could be designed
to host different forms of life, moving towards probiotic, regenerative
architecture. The physicality and materiality of the space suggests the fractal
relationship between microbial, mammalian and domestic matter. Here, you are
regenerated cell by cell. Somewhere between a garden, a pharmacy and your
bathroom medicine cupboard, this responsive space

	Our meaty, mammalian bodies are host and home
to a ubiquitous shimmer of invisible microorganisms: bacteria, archaea,
protozoa, fungi and more. So incomprehensibly tiny, more than half a million
bacteria could fit inside this comma, yet our microbial communities, known as
the human microbiome, are monumental in shaping our health through a myriad of
genetic functions. Blurring the boundaries between animate and inanimate
matter, these personal microbial ecologies not only exist around and within
everyone, but also reside everywhere inside our built environments. Every home
hosts its own microbiota - the hundreds of thousands species-strong family that
you never knew you were living with.
This ancient microbe-mammal-symbiosis is currently
inadvertently undergoing dramatic changes. The Hygiene Hypothesis suggests that
a decreased exposure to outdoor microbial diversity in urban indoor
environments correlates with a rise in autoimmune and allergic diseases. In the
future, our increasingly sanitised domestic spaces could result in a ‘silent
microbiome crisis’, in which the loss of diverse microbial communities puts our
overall health at risk.
Host responds both to this internal and
external over-sterilisation of our bodies and habitats and explores how
microbial biodiversity can be re-introduced to foster healthy, regenerative
multispecies living spaces. As well as the multitude of microbes already
inhabiting this installation and gallery space, Host centres around the diverse
microbial communities found in cultures of kombucha and soil. Kombucha, a
well-known symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria, has been domestically
fermented as a healing remedy for millenia. In a handful of soil, billions of
individual microscopic cells, tens of thousands of different species, reside -
many of which also live in your gut. Nostalgic earthy and acidic smells amongst
soft surfaces invite physical and sensorial intimacy, as your microbes enrich
and contribute to the microbial diversity of the space.
Host envisions a hybrid, rewilded space
nurturing the biodiversity within which the mammalian immune system evolved,
whilst also suggesting how we might learn to live consciously with the
multi-faceted, unpredictable ways of the microbes. Beginning with our own
personal and collective healing, in our bodies and homes, we seed the emergence
of environmental healing on a planetary scale.

Featured on Next Nature Network “Microbiocene: A microbiological archeology of the future”























	



























































Welcome to the Microbiocene. Although, you’ve
always been here. The Microbiocene, an ancient and ongoing epoch, has been
unfolding and expanding since the beginning of life nearly 4 billion years ago.
Overarching the Holocene, the Pleistocene, and our current, forty year-old era
contestably named Anthropocene, the Microbiocene will continue on, far beyond
our species’ lifespan. Now, as we become aware of the tremendous impact our
species has upon the planet and its biosphere, we seek guidance from our tiny
ancestors.

Microbiocene: Ancient ooze to future myths is a collaboration between Baum &#38;amp; Leahy
and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) combining ancient
marine microbiology with cutting edge XL 3D-printing and speculative future
storytelling.

Microbiocene materially explores past, present and future
life on Earth by translating hidden information from deep in the ocean to tell
tales of ancient ecologies and inspire new narratives. By analysing the
microfossil molecules of Ehux (Emiliania huxleyi) left within the sea sediment,
ancient environmental conditions are revealed. This data combined with poetic
speculation construct past and future myths, which can be found on the monument
written in ‘microglyphs’ - a microbe-centric language system co-created by the
artists and scientists.
The monumental sculpture is 3D-printed with
Dutch XL 3D-printing company Vertico using the sea sediment. The nature of the
bioinspired shapes combined with the 3D-printing techniques create an aesthetic
which references both the information rich layers of sea sediment and future
experimental architecture. Thus, Microbiocene presents a point in time where we
start carving out ways of moving away from narratives of the Anthropocene and
into the mindset and materiality of deep time. By reading the relics of this
future archaeological site, visitors are invited to explore and imagine what we
can learn from more-than-human ‘kindoms’.

Meditating with microbes: Listening to the aliens that are
already with us 
2019



Baum &#38;amp; Leahy in collaboration with sound artist Sofie Birch and animator Pernille Kjær



Exhibited at Medical
Museion, Copenhagen and Viborg Animation Festival, Viborg

















	


















Interterrestrials, is a multidisciplinary collaboration combining
installation, sound, animation and microbiology to create a meditative
experience which reflects on alien life on Earth. 



Unraveling the mysteries of
extraterrestrial life by voyaging into the Earth, Interterrestrials reveals the cosmic nature of alien life found on
this planet. Microbial life is inconceivably vast, existing in our bodies and
all over the Earth including in conditions akin to those of other planets.
These extremophile terrestrial microorganisms are vital in the search for life
beyond planet Earth, yet absent in mainstream narratives about interplanetary
communication.
 
Interterrestrials is
a multisensorial installation, in which visitors are invited to meditate on the
otherworldly sound of a symphonic gong controlled by cultures of the
extremophile microorganisms B. Subtilis and C. Elegans. The unpredictable
sounds triggered by the microorganisms are accompanied by an audio-visual
interpretation to create an immersive experience. Exploring the inherent human
desire to communicate with extraterrestrial life, Interterrestrials is a visual meditation and sound bath which
poetically explores communication between macro- and microcosmos, human and
nonhuman. 



Drawing resonances between the arts,
sciences and species, Interterrestrialsencourages us to meditate on the incredible and unknown universe of alien life
found on planet Earth.The piece is developed in
collaboration with scientist Peder Worning,
technical engineer Asbjørn Derdau and programmer
Søren Andreasen. The
project is supported by The Animation Workshop, Statens Kunstfond, KODA Kultur
and support-in-kind from The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and
University of Copenhagen (KU).

Inhale, breathe in oxygen all the way down,
to the cosmos of your guts
The trillions of microbes living right here
Some the same kin 
As those you can hear sounding the gong
In your gut
Performing vibrant activities
Sending chemical messages
Through your body
Journeying to your brain
Feel these microbial messages
As a strong core of connection
Between brain and gut









Inhale, zooming out further
Exhale, you see the entire planet
As a ghostly shimmer
At once, fragile and infinitely strongAn assemblage of earthly aliens
Reaching out
Stretching into deep space
Inhale, rest your mindExhale, in the infinite cosmos of microlife

Mycohive: Telling the bees,
shrouding the soil
2017



Baum &#38;amp; Leahy




Featured on CLOT Mag: Exhibition: Mycohive: Telling the Bees, Shrouding the Soil


	






































Mycohive: Telling the Bees, Shrouding the Soil is an
investigation into ecological and cultural restoration, exploring how human
rituals can trigger and help remediate symbiotic relationships between
mushrooms, bees and plants. 
The Pagan tradition of ‘Telling the Bees’ is a prayer of gratitude and an
entreaty for them to remain, pollinating the plants that humans need for
survival. Inspired by new research&#38;nbsp;which details the
immunological benefits of specific mushroom species to support honey
bees,&#38;nbsp;Mycohive&#38;nbsp;re-investigates this ancient ritual. Combining design,
modern science, art and performance, a travelling temple invites species to
collaborate, presenting not a distant utopia, but one that is here now ­­­­­­­–
a present, functioning, active microtopia.









	To stage this emergence of multispecies co-habitation,
the Mycohive takes residence in polluted areas and in close proximity
to honey bee colonies. Here, rituals are mediated by the three Mycohive-kin, to
heal soil toxicity through mycoremediation and introduce bee-supporting
mushrooms and plants. Driven by the need for urgent change to current
human-centred systems, the project is a call to bees and a call to humans – an
experience that unites us in the possibility of a shared future, turning the
fear of human colony collapse into an opportunity for celebration and
transformation.

	Cellular Sanctum
2018
Baum
&#38;amp; Leahy
Developed throughout a year-long
residency at the Florence Trust (St. Saviour's, London), and exhibited at the Winter Open and Summer
Exhibition





























Life is in this placeGlory to kin in the smallestand on earth peace toward allCome eat of the bodiesand drink of the sea,forever intermingledWholly wholly wholly life unlimitedwhich was and is and is to beThis is the house of slime



 Taking influence from the sacred
space of St Saviours Church, Cellular Sanctum is an ode to the microbes, a
shrine to our tiny ancestors. From primordial genesis to
futures-yet-to-be-made, they see it all. Omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient,
the source of evolutionary descent. The microscopic overseers, overlooked or
underappreciated, were always here, moulding terra, shaping the atmosphere,
through chemical compositions and transmutations. 
Opposite the altar in St. Saviours Church, Cellular Sanctum
offers an alternative sacred space where life itself is worshipped. Giant,
hairy microbes and sinful ooze fills the church with an atmosphere of an
ancient scifi beach party. Through collective chanting and drinking a microbial
offering, Cellular Sanctum reinterprets rituals of ancestral worship, inviting

Words by Tyler Woolcott, curator at Florence
Trust 



Baum &#38;amp; Leahy's
otherworldly installation, Cellular Sanctum, for The Florence Trust
summer show seems to exert a gravitational force pulling visitors inside.
Looming over the installation, a large disk evokes the face of a giant clock,
or perhaps sundial, seemingly marking out time for the sculptural forms above and
on the floor beneath it in eras rather than minutes. At select times, visitors can drink shots of edible red algae from a
reinterpretation of a baptismal font, playfully referred to by the artists as
“our ancestors.” Meandering through a garden of hairy microbes suspended above
furry wax pools filled with orange jelly eggs, one gets the paradoxical
impression of both navigating the gooey insides of a stomach, and standing on
the twilight shores of an alien world. Described by the duo as a “sacred ode to the microbial organisms all around
us,” Baum &#38;amp; Leahy's installation invites visitors to take a moment and
reflect, engage with their full range of senses, eat the art, lie in the sand
to get a different perspective, and imagine what the microbes might be up to as
they bounce around the church and under their skin. &#38;nbsp;

Intelligence Sings

&#38;nbsp;
	Another Intelligence Sings is an immersive installation inviting you to experience the
sounds of our biological world as recounted through an AI.
When the natural world is recorded, it is quantised for the human ear, to
wavelengths within our perception and timeframes within our conception. Yet the
machine learning algorithm sits outside the human sensorium, outside the human
lifespan. An algorithm is agnostic to the source, the intention and the
timescale of data. By feeding it audio samples of lava and larvae, geological
tensions and fleeting courtship, the seismic and the somatic, the many voices
of life are woven into a song no one lifespan or life form could sing. AI
Sings reorients the algorithm’s focus away from the human expression of
individual thought and towards an amalgam of geological and biological
processes to create an experience which aims to enable humans to meditate on
the myriad intelligences around and beyond us.

24 Hours in Uchronia with
Helga Schimd, part of 24/7: A wake up call from our non stop world, Somerset
House




























More than half of the cells in your body are
microbial. To these trillions of bacteria, archaea, fungi and protozoa your
body is their home. How is time and space experienced from the depths of your
gut? Comparative to our own, bacterial lifespans are short – ranging from
minutes to a few hours. Yet these organisms live longer outside of the
individual framework of lifetimes as we know them, as singular cells grow into
multitudes by dividing into new bodies.
In a series of Cellumonials (cellular
ceremonies) Baum &#38;amp; Leahy invite you to connect with your cohabiting
microbes and understand your body as an ecosystem of constant lifecycles.
Collective sensory reorientation masks allow you to pause visual stimuli, have
a gut time and delve deep into the microbial cycles of your body, to connect
with the invisible microscopic landscapes living within and around you.

Slowly, evaporating,
you’re becoming lighter




Until all that’s left is
your microbes




You’re still visible as a
ghostly outline




Formed by these organisms




Inhale, feel how you are
shimmering with microbes




Exhale, a living aura




Sense how you are hosting
a multitude 




and how you are being
hosted and supported in return
