Growing from my interest in how abrupt and disastrous forces become a trigger for generative energy release, I will be looking diachronically and trans-disciplinarily into microforms of resilience, insular spirits of struggle and lone visionaries.
What common denominator can volcanology, rituals pacifying mountain spirits, the birth of an island, a sea contaminated by mercury, poetry, women’s movements and farming on radioactive land as a lifelong form of protest share?
In cinematic, sculptural, essayistic and performative ‘exercises’ I will continue observing expressions of fortitude in relation to long-lasting social and environmental ‘aftershocks’ following calamitous events that haunt times of supposed calm.
