Connect Exchange Residency at Metal Liverpool 2017
“What kinds of insight about the nature of the world become apparent when we attend to certain
engagements with parts of that world that reveal some of its different entities, dynamics and
properties”? Eduardo Kohn
What kind of mindful, humane and sustainable politics can come out of appreciative and sensitive
engagements?
My project will look at how ideologies of anarchist thinkers (Bay, Bookchin, Kropotkin, Chomsky)
can inspire both an approach to moving image methodology and a fictional scenario that narrates
the work. This eco-anarchist project will strive to promote a utopian, ecologically balanced society
and aims to restructure society to re-enter natural evolution.
My project at Metal involves creating a video that intertwines fact with fiction to depicts a visionary scenario. The scenario is about a secretive poetic eco-terrorist society who are active in Liverpool. Their political actions include realistic activities such as guerilla gardening, seed bombing, ephemeral land art making and also surreal, Dadaist activities that will be invented collaboratively as the project unfolds.
