Unfolding Scenes of Conveyance
[2024]
Unfolding Scenes of Conveyance is work that exists within the periphery of fields of inquiry and planetary shifts, sharing the narratives of drifters, lingerers, and posts-non human witnesses of the murkiness of temporal and spatial territories of environmental shifts and planetary changes. Unfolding narratives that spatially register and translate the environmental particularities of place, and project realities and emerging patterns of ecological and climate related migrations. Suspended between factual registration and the speculative imaginary, the work unfolds scenes of entangled rhythms. The image shows drifting radiosonde detached from the weather balloon and caught up in fungal kinship, in landscapes of melting Siberian permafrost. Made with midjourney.
