Wendi Yan’s contribution to the Future Wunderkammer program at Berggruen’s Institute is an interactive web-based diagram that reimagines the classic Chart of the Inner Landscape. In light of the climate crisis, this project takes the philosophical stages from the Daoist interior visualization technique of the human body and adapts them to the contemporary quest to lower the carbon dioxide concentration in Earth’s atmosphere.
