This collection explores artistic representations of vegetal life
that imperil human life, voicing anxieties about our relationship
to other life forms with which we share the earth. From medieval
manuscript illustrations to modern works of science fiction and
horror, plants that manifest monstrous agency defy human control,
challenge anthropocentric perception, and exact a violent vengeance
for our blind and exploitative practices. Plant Horror explores how
depictions of monster plants reveal concerns about the viability of
our prevailing belief systems and dominant ideologies- as well as a
deep-seated fear about human vulnerability in an era of deepening
ecological crisis. Films discussed include The Day of the Triffids,
Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Wicker Man, Swamp Thing, and
The Happening.
