Moros is a fictional anti-natalist commune. Named after the Greek primordial deity who is the impersonation of impending doom, the commune is isolated in the depths of the Mojave desert. Its members propagate the voluntary extinction of all humans in order to end all suffering. The one rule of the commune is 'thou shalt not procreate'. The skeletal architecture acts as a memento mori and exposes its inhabitants to the visceral condition of the Californian desert. Members of Moros engage in rituals and pageantry, while wearing elaborate uniforms and costumes that immerse the wearers and observers in unusual practices and interactions with the architecture, developed as a tool for anti-natalist indoctrination.
Isolation is essential in reinventing life, free of the forces that shape society. The site is one of the loneliest; it is digitally off-grid as hills and mountains are obstacles between cell towers.
The architecture is a framework where social reinvention happens. The mesh structures act as a memento mori: a skeletal, ghostly reminder of the obsolete place of humans in the world.
Uniforms, such as these wearable beds, have been used in communes throughout history. The open air architecture requires architecture to be worn as attire for comfort as well as for ritual.
