‘Solastalgia is the definitive disease of the 21st century but only a few even know its name. The symptoms include a sense of loss, a vague sensation of being torn from the earth, a general out-of-placeness, homelessness without leaving home. You have probably felt it without knowing what it was. Solastalgia is the unease we inflict on ourselves as we create a world we don’t want to inhabit, a world stripped of nature.'&nbsp;- Filipa RamosInspired by the phenomena of solastalgia, which describes an emotional reaction to change, in particular to climate change,&nbsp;‘Eight Wild Tales'&nbsp;is a program of artists’ films that look at forms of personal and collective response to a sense of strangeness of being in the world. The program brings together eight films by artists from various contexts and generations. The various films combine live action, found footage, animation and CGI to narrate outlandish stories of joy and awe, ecstasy and fear, where different relationships and alliances are established with more-than-human worlds.Each film will be streamed on artbasel.com and will be available for a week. They will be accompanied by interviews between Filipa Ramos and the artists.&nbsp;Works include:<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/events/detail/14352/Summershow-and-invitees" target="_blank">Pauline Curnier Jardin</a>, Explosion Ma Baby, 2016.
