AM Kanngieser - Eulogy for the handfish

https://amkanngieser.com/work/eulogy-for-the-handfish

Extinction, naming as colonial, a story of the Handfish - a story with growing punchy electronic backing track. Quote:

"a name in a list of names... there is a freedom in remaining unfound... if to be found is to be taken, is to be named, is to be lost... it is in our finding that death comes... without that finding their are many forms of being..."


Tai Shani -Neon Hiroglyph 2021

https://virtual-factory.co.uk

New work by Tai Shani for Manchester International Festiva. Its sci-fi explorations and feminist fabulations into connected existence, oppression, liberation and ecology. I see connections between what her work is doing and the atmosphere I am creating in. my work.


Quotes from the audio/visual work:

a museum of unrecoverable vibrations

travelling as long as its molecular collaborators will allow

hearing a constant horizon

they {birds} sing to let us know they are alive, that is all

the sun is a ghost that haunts the light

Eco-criticism radio prog

















New Thinking: Eco-criticism

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p095x97m


Eco-criticism, I know the term and what it explores, through engagement in the environmental humanities, however never been able to really define what it is. Eco-criticism is a lens through which to read any text using an ecological lense.


Active hope is practical and tangible, it isn't a hope that leaves it to someone else, it is a dialogue. It's hope in the dark. Through eco-criticism we can make with a broader lense, creating with scale.

Ref: The Hounds of the Baskervilles - Holmes being sent to the moors to tame them, he cannot.


This brings my back to my research around bogs and gothic literature, they were used as something to be tamed and feared, when they should be free to get on with living on their terms. HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO QUEER ECOLOGY, WILDNESS AND SOUND.


UNTAMEABLE - how is my work looking at the untamable through queering, looking at eerie and darkness, working through sounds in a sculptural and improvisational way in understanding them.
